Pine Knob Ski and Snowboard Resort is Looking to Host a Local Family to Learn to Ski this Winter

Learn to Ski Family Wanted

Pine Knob is looking to host a family to learn to ski this winter at the Pine Knob Ski and Snowboard Resort in Clarkston. Ideally, a family of four – all first time skiers – should apply and be able to come out to the ski hill about once per week during the 2018 season.

“We want to show off our wonderful progressive beginner area at Pine Knob,” said Jeff King, manager of the Pine Knob Ski and Snowboard School. “Our professional instructors will take the family from their first time on skis, through all the basics, and advance them as they are ready.”

Lift tickets, rental equipment, and an hour lesson will be included each time the family comes skiing. After the lesson, the family is encouraged to stay and practice. Pine Knob will document the “Learn to Ski Family” by taking photos and videos along the way and posting them to their social media channels – so the family should be comfortable with being in the spotlight.

Those interested in becoming the official 2018 Learn to Ski Family should send an email to pkskischool@gmail.com with “We Want to Learn to Ski” in the subject line; and include a note of why they want to learn to ski, a family photo, the ages of everyone in the family, what social media sites they use, and contact information. Pine Knob will review all applicants the week of January 15.

Once selected, dates and times will be coordinated with the family and they must provide their own winter clothing to hit the slopes. Pine Knob will provide the skis, poles, boots, and helmets; as well as the lift passes and lessons. Safety and skiing responsibly will be a part of every visit.

The Pine Knob Ski and Snowboard School has organized this program. From first timers and beginners to advanced and beyond, their professional instructors are available to get anyone ready for the season. When people think about learning to ski, they think about learning to ski at Pine Knob.
