The package includes a room at the Lift Line Lodge, equipment rental, lift ticket, and a choice of two beginner ski or snowboard lessons daily: 9:30-11:15 A.M. and 1:30-3:15 P.M. The group lessons are taught by Stratton certified instructors and average four-to-six students.

Lessons, lift ticket and equipment typically go for $109 daily and winter room rates are $59 per night for mid-week stays and $79 per night on weekends. All told, the package should save travelers $70 per night whether or not they book a mid-week or weekend trip.
