Learn & Earn Program

Start with one winter. Stay for three.

Your first time on snow doesn't have to be intimidating. Snowbasin's award-winning Learn & Earn program is your path to becoming a lifelong skier or rider. Get started with three lessons, season-long rentals, and a Season Pass. Love it? Keep going for up to two more winters, with gear to keep, private lessons, and a pass each year. Before long, you'll be counting down to opening day. 


Get Started

Built for Your First Time on Snow

Learn & Earn is for true beginners, ages 4 and up.

You're a great fit if you:

✓ Have never skied or ridden before
✓ Want to ski or snowboard, your pick
✓ Would rather not buy gear up front (it's included)
✓ Would rather learn from an instructor than figure it out alone
✓ Want to start with one winter and keep going if you love it

Coming back for Year 2 or 3? Each year picks up where the last left off, so you'll need to have completed the one before.

Learn, Return & Graduate

I fell in love with skiing last winter through the Learn & Earn program. Learning and progressing together with my kids has been an awesome family activity. We spent nearly every Saturday together this past season and can’t wait to do it all again for Year 2.

Who qualifies for this program?

Adults and children ages 4+ who have never skied or snowboarded before.

What gear is included in the rental package?

All packages include skis/snowboard, boots, bindings and poles.

When can I pick up my gear and where?

The Grizzly Center opens for gear and pass pickup starting March 28th and 29th. Visit us Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm, to pick up your gear and passes.

When do I need to return my gear?

Rental gear is due at end of the winter season by April 30th - This step can be avoided by purchasing Learn, Earn & Return, the second year of this program.

When do I receive my season pass?

You'll receive your season pass when you pick up your rental gear, but it will not be active until you've completed all three lessons. 

What does my season pass include?

Full access to the resort with no blackout dates and all Premier Pass perks.

What should I wear?

Layered clothing, gloves, goggles and a helmet (helmets are required). Start with a base layer of thermal underwear (shirt and leggings). On top of your thermal base layer, you may want a fleece layer for insulation. Finally, a waterproof exterior layer (shell pants and jacket) will ensure staying dry and comfortable all day. Don't forget sunscreen to top it off!

When can I sign up for my Learn & Earn lessons?

Year 1 Learn & Earn participants can reserve lessons starting November 15, and Year 2 and 3 participants can sign up beginning early January. Early-season inventory is limited as the mountain has limited terrain. Additional space may be added as terrain continues to open.

Can I upgrade my lesson to a private lesson?

Yes, you can switch to a private lesson for an additional cost. To do this, call 801-620-1015.

Does the payment plan do a credit check or add fees? How does it work?

No, the payment plan divides your purchase equally across up to 5 transactions, depending on when you make your purchase. It will automatically charge your credit card at the time of purchase and again during future payment windows. 

Can I take a break from Learn & Earn, then come back?

Learn & Earn programs must be completed in three consecutive years; participants may not skip a year.
