StartNOW provides five sessions of instruction for first-time ski and snowboard students and includes lift access, equipment rentals and lessons for just $199 – or less than $40 per session.
 
“We created StartNOW to offer an affordable and accessible way to introduce Utah residents to skiing and snowboarding,” said Tom Pettigrew, director of skier services at Park City Mountain Resort.  “In the course of the first two seasons of StartNOW we’ve seen amazing success in introducing people to the sport.
