First Ride Guide

First Ride Video Tip

Dave Vegely - Lift Operations Manager


Knowing how to load the lift chair properly is essential to progressing at skiing or snowboarding.

Check out other Video Tips on Boreal's YouTube Channel.

The First Ride Guide provides comprehensive instructions describing how to make your first ride at Boreal a pleasant experience. The guide provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to plan, execute and enjoy your first day on the mountain.  We have divided it into two main parts; preparation and arrival.  Preparation will help you plan and prepare for your trip and arrival will walk you through what to do once you reach Boreal.

Additionally we have provided links, downloads and other information to help you learn more about skiing and snowboarding.
