Cancellations & Postponements

Lessons are often held in inclement weather conditions. It is extremely rare that Mount Pakenham will cancel lessons due to cold or other weather related reasons. If weather is questionable, please refer to this page or our Homepage for resort updates:

LESSON PARTICIPANTS:

LESSONS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. When a lesson spot is booked, it is unavailable for others to book. Due to unprecedented demand for Snow School Lessons, we have made changes to maximize access to Lessons for all guests. All cancellations are subject to fees.

LESSONS RUN IN ALL WEATHER - mild, cold, snowy, rainy, mixed precipitation. On extra cold days we adapt lessons to keep students moving and take breaks as needed.
