NEW COMPLETE 3 LEARN TO SKI & RIDE INITIATIVE UNVEILED

Steamboat Teams with Eldora, Powderhorn and Snowy Range in Level One Program

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO-January 5, 2012-Steamboat announced a new ski and ride program specifically for the January Learn to Ski & Ride month entitled, Complete 3, partnering with regional resorts Eldora Mountain Resort and Powderhorn Mountain Resort in Colorado and Snowy Range in Wyoming.

“With Steamboat’s new Complete 3 Lesson Program, learning to ski or snowboard is as easy as 1, 2, 3,” said Jim Schneider, vice president of skier services for Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation. “This season along with our partner resorts, we are proud to offer our best learn to ski and ride value yet. The Complete 3 Lesson Program is perfect for those looking to try the sport and then, keep coming back for the remainder of the winter.” 

In conjunction with Learn to Ski and Ride month, Steamboat is introducing the Complete 3 Lesson Program, which allows adult never-ever skiers and riders the opportunity to enjoy the sport by taking three lessons at their home resort of Steamboat, Eldora, Powderhorn or Snowy Range or at a combination of their home resort and Steamboat. The first lesson must be completed during January 2012, and the other two may be taken anytime throughout the 2011/12 season.

Once the initial three lessons are completed and verified, a Complete 3 Lesson Pass will be issued through the Steamboat Ski & Snowboard School Ticket Office for season-long incentives at Steamboat.  Complete 3 pass holders qualify for 50% off future group lessons and rentals and special $49 lift tickets at Steamboat for the remainder of the 2011/12 season.

“A lifetime of enjoyment starts with lesson one and what better time than the beginning of the New Year,” continued Schneider. “Learning under the direction of trained professionals starts skiers and riders on the right track to become winter sports enthusiasts.”
