Challenge Alaska will not turn away any participant because of inability to pay full price. We encourage you to ask us about adjustments to lesson fees. In order to support the program and make services available to as many as possible, we encourage students to pay what they can afford.

Lessons at Challenge Alaska are based from our 4,500 square foot, accessible, ski in/ski out chalet located on the slopes of Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska. Every lesson includes the following:

  • All equipment needed for stand up or sit skiers, or snowboarders, including any specially adapted equipment.
  • A pre-lesson assessment of individual needs, and equipment fitting
  • One all-mountain, all day lift ticket
  • A private lesson on the slopes, with individual instruction from teachers trained by Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) in the most current adaptive techniques: one or two instructors per participant 
  • Use of Chalet during lesson

The Registration "Individual Lessons & Rentals" is not currently available.
