Barbara Huntley Novice Skier Program


The Miramar Ski club proudly announces a unique and exciting opportunity to learn to downhill ski in a supportive and affordable way through the Barbara Huntley Novice Downhill Skier Program.

Novice skiers will be reimbursed up to $75 per day towards a ski package that includes lessons, lift tickets and rentals. In addition, an experienced Miramar mentor will guide the novices through the package routine, provide information, answer questions and show the lay of the land. The only requirements are to take lessons and take our bus to our charming lodge.

On designated improvement weekends all skiers, at every skill level, are eligible for additional benefits to improve their skills. Click here for more details.

Who is eligible?

  • The NOVICE Program is open to NOVICE SKIERS on all official Miramar ski trips. 
  • The IMPROVEMENT Program is open to ALL SKIERS on four selected weekend ski trips.
