点评:I booked a beginner snowboard lesson for my two teenage daughters at Brian Head Resort and unfortunately left feeling very disappointed with the experience.
The class took place on February 13, 2026, from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM and was booked online. Two days before the lesson I received a call from a coordinator regarding lift tickets, which I was told would not be necessary because the class would not be using the lifts. I tried calling back several times to clarify, but I was never able to reach a live person or leave a message because the voicemail box was full.
On the day of the lesson we arrived about an hour early to understand how everything worked, but we were told we still had to purchase lift tickets. Since it was the same day, we had to pay the full price, which came out to about $250 for both tickets.
While the lesson was in progress, I spoke with another instructor who mentioned that we could have purchased “magic carpet” tickets instead, which only cost around $30–$35 per person and are typically used for beginner lessons. When I later tried to request a refund for the lift tickets we didn’t actually need, I was told that there were no refunds and that nothing could be done.
The following week we returned for another lesson. This time I purchased lift tickets online in advance and exchanged them for season passes. Unfortunately, my older daughter injured her knee shortly afterward and was only able to use the pass for one day.
My biggest concern with the entire experience is that we were required to purchase full-price lift tickets even though the class did not use the lifts, and in fact the lifts close at 4:00 PM, right when the lesson ended. I believe this situation could have been handled much more transparently and fairly.
翻译:我在布莱恩海德度假村为我的两个十几岁的女儿预订了一节初级单板滑雪课,但很遗憾,这次体验让我非常失望。
课程安排在2026年2月13日下午1:30至4:00,是通过网络预订的。上课前两天,我接到一位协调员的电话,询问关于缆车票的问题。对方告诉我,因为课程不需要使用缆车,所以不需要购买缆车票。我多次尝试回拨电话确认,但始终无法接通人工服务,也无法留言,因为语音信箱已满。
上课当天,我们提前大约一个小时到达,想了解一下流程,但被告知仍然需要购买缆车票。由于是同一天,我们不得不支付全价,两张票加起来大约250美元。
上课期间,我和另一位教练聊天,他提到我们可以购买“魔毯”票,这种票每人只需30-35美元,通常用于初级课程。后来我试图申请退还我们实际上没用到的缆车票费用,却被告知无法退款,也无能为力。
接下来的一周,我们又去上了另一节课。这次我提前在网上购买了缆车票,并换成了季票。不幸的是,我的大女儿不久后膝盖受伤,季票只能用一天。
我对整个体验最不满的地方在于,尽管课程没有使用缆车,而且缆车下午4点就关闭了(正好是课程结束的时间),我们却被要求购买全价缆车票。我认为这种情况本可以处理得更加透明和公平。
