Getting ready foran adaptive ski lesson with BOEC.
One-on-one adaptive ski and snowboard lessons at Breckenridge and Keystone, from a program that names autism among what it teaches. Equipment and the lift ticket are included.
BOEC teaches “all disciplines of adaptive skiing and snowboarding, including but not limited to four-track, visually impaired, three-track, autism, learning delays, mono-skiing, and bi-skiing. Lessons are conducted on a personalized, one-on-one basis.”
“All information shared with us during your pre-lesson call with BOEC Ski Program staff is critical to ensuring that we have selected the best option for each participant.”
BOEC names autism in its list of what it teaches, and every lesson is one-on-one, with the equipment and lift ticket included.
You fill out an application first, then a pre-lesson call. That call is the time to tell them everything that helps your kid: what overwhelms them, how they show it, what calms them, and how they do with waiting in lines.
Lessons for the 2026-27 season begin Nov 27.
High season costs more and fills faster: Dec 19 to Jan 3, Jan 16 to 18, Feb 13 to 21 and March 6 to 31.
One-on-one lessons for skiers and riders over the age of four, with instruction, equipment and the student's lift ticket included.
Breckenridge and Keystone: $310 full day, $200 half day; high season $340 and $220. Lunch isn't included or supervised.
Stand-up skiers and riders need to walk the length of the lift line and stand up after a fall on their own or with very little help. If that's hard for your kid, ask about sit-ski options on the intake call.
