In addition to skiing and snowboarding, SilverStar Mountain Resort offers tubing, skating, snowshoeing, fat biking, mini snowmobiles, bowling and more. The scenery at this colorful mid-mountain village, with its powdery snow and groomed terrain, gives families the feeling they’re inside a snow globe.

For group lessons, kids are divided by age and ability, and lessons are offered during the day or evening. Half-day and full-day private instruction is also available.
