Deseret News (Salt Lake City), Dec 2, 2004
The first session of the 57th Deseret Morning News' Ski and Snowboard School went off as scheduled, thanks to a series of storms that gave skiers a perfect snowbase to slide on.
The second class will be Saturday -- skiers will head to Alta and snowboarders to Snowbird.
Classes will start forming between 9 and 9:30 a.m.
Students are advised to dress warmly. The weather forecast is predicting partially cloudy conditions.
The final class will be Dec. 11.
The $25 fee included registration, a total of three two-hour lesson, instruction from a certified instructor and, "when they're ready, access to a chairlift," said Sharon Johnson, marketing director at the Deseret Morning News.
"I don't know of a less expensive way of learning to ski or snowboard. Over the 56 years, a lot of people have learned. A lot of those people who do ski and snowboard now got their start in the Deseret Morning News' ski school."
Since this is a school for entry-level or beginning students, instruction is intended to get would-be skiers and snowboarders past the fears of not knowing what to do and to a point where they will be able to negotiate beginner slopes with confidence.
Some students will be able to ride a chairlift for the first time this Saturday. Others will be able to learn how to take a seat on a moving lift during the final class.
