Could not recommend this place enough. My daughter had David as a teacher and he was fantastic. I felt like she learned a lot and had fun doing it!

Friendly staff, safe environment, overall good experience. However, bathrooms could use some cleaning and maintenance. Given the times were in, a clean bathroom is a must, at least from a health standpoint.

My son had a really great time with his first ski lesson. Brad was incredibly patient, friendly and overall an amazing trainer. Highly recommended for anyone (esp kids) looking to get an early start to the season and make the most of actual powder time on the slopes.

I had my two girls (4yo & 6yo) learning how to ski indoor with Mini Mountain for two years. I always choose to do the lessons right before we go on snow with the kids. This year I started my boy 2.8 years old indoor skiing with instructor Kevin and it was a nice experience. He definitely knows how to handle young ones (who cry). My boy was able to ski with some confidence after 5 lessons. Each one of my kids feel pretty comfortable after 8-10 lessons. To make the best out of each lesson, try to arrive at least 10min early and if possible choose the same instructor to teach your child. Weekday lessons are better than weekends! I will bring back my kids for snowboarding lessons in the future.

We have rented skis a couple of times this season. From our initial phone call full of questions, to the time spent getting the skis we needed, Mini Mountain employees were very friendly, responsive and prompt. This place has a small town feel which I liked. All the times we were there, there were other customers and activity going on. The wait time was appropriate and it was nice to be able to observe other customers also seemed to be having a very positive experience here. The kids taking lessons seemed to be having a blast!

Our 5 and 6-year-old boys had their first ski camp experience at Mini Mountain and it was wonderful! They asked to come back for more every single day. We loved the friendly instructors and the quality of instruction, and we look forward to taking lessons here soon!

A great way for all ages to learn to ski. The staff will help you schedule your lessons and are always available to answer questions. The staff is also super friendly, my girls (ages 4 and 5) love every instructor they get.

What a great way to learn how to ski. Both our kids took the lessons here around age 6. Then first day on the snow, in both cases, they were skiing *well* by the third run. They thoroughly enjoyed that first day and continue to enjoy skiing years later.We still do season rentals here for the (still growing) kids. The staff is friendly and laid-back. In a skiing world that seems so heavy on marketing hype, Mini Mountain is a labor of love and a neighborhood resource.

All three of my kids (now ages 15, 12 and 9) got their ski legs starting at Mini Mountain. It was a great place for them learn the basics in a no-drama, comfortable environment. No painful trek from the car to the ticket booth to the lift, no battling through multiple layers of stifling clothes, no tears. They gained confidence on the carpet at Mini Mountain, and after just a few lessons were ready and excited to take on the white stuff! I highly recommend.

We loved all the instructors! They were really awesome when our 4 yr old started lessons. He was very nervous and apprehensive and they rolled with it and made him comfortable. The following year he made huge progress with their lessons and has easily transferred his skills to the mt. and now loves skiing and is ripping it up on the hill! Thank you!

The instructors are very helpful and work really well with kids of all ages. The facility is simple but efficient. 20-minute time slots are perfect for getting a bit closer to a great skiing or snow-boarding experience on a real mountain. Highly recommend.

It is a good day to be a parent when you hear your daughter sayThis is the best day of my life.....as a 7 year old.Well take it.Another great day on the slopes ...thanks to the fabulous instructors at Mini Mountain! Learning indoors not only gave both our kids focused skill-based lessons, but also built the priceless confidence that can only come from patient and fun folks who brought a variety of personality and strategies to prepare our kiddos for the snow. It was also convienent to be watching and cheering them on sitting in a warm... dry ... shop with my latte in hand. Two thumbs up for value and best bang for my buck in building a life time of family adventures and memories! Thanks Mini Mountain!

Mini mountain is really good at teaching skiing to all age groups. My kids loved the indoor training and were very comfortable on snow the first time.They have great instructors and low teacher-to-kid ratio.

My daughter (10 yr old) wanted to learn how to ski so we took her to Mini Mountain for a few times before going to the real one. She enjoyed all the indoor lessons there and enabled her to get comfortable with the equipment before going to the mountain. When she went to Snoqualmie Pass, she adapted very quickly and was able to go to the green lift after a half-day lesson.

HUGE FAN of Mini Mountain! Fantastic way to have kids learn to get on the mountain w/o spending half your time on the mountain in the weather putting skis on and off. A 20 min lesson is worth like 3 hours on the hill. Highly recommend.

My son did summer lessons with Russ and we had an awesome experience!I tried going on line to sign up for ski lessons this winter with Mini Mountain but the website wasnt letting me access the lessons. When I tried calling the store to get help, I left 4 messages with a young lady and she continued to tell me that they were too busy at the time and she would call me back. I never heard back from her and decided to sign up with the Powder Pigs. It was disappointing since we had such a great time this past summer with Russ.

I love that my 4 year old is getting the fundamentals without having to slog over to the slopes. Now, when we go as a family it might actually be fun. :D

I would recommend this place to everyone no matter how old you are or weather you need to freshen up your skills or just learn from beginning. Brad London was my daughter Instractor, he is amezing guy and the best instructor ever !Brad took a lot of pressure from us and showed my daughter all the tricks and things to know so you can enjoy skiining. In less than 3 times I could see my daughter already making turns and zippining. I shared lessons with my daughter I love that option so I can feel confident about my skills too. My daughter is 7 years old we were able to go on very steep hills and she loved it. She was so inspired with skiining that made great story that we shared with her class ! The owner of this place is amezing guy, he keeps an eye on everything, he is very professional, making sure all costumers are served yet atmosphere is amezing. You hear lot of giggles from kids while they try to follow directions. Way to go Mini Mountains!

This is our 5th year renting skis and snowboards for the kids school program and the process always goes smoothly at Mini Mountain. Well likely be coming back for the next decade at least :)Their indoor lessons have even piqued our curiosity as adults.

They are super nice and do give new skiiers some basics before going up to the pass. But their timelines is not great, they never start on time and most times we did not receive the full 20 minutes due to their mismanagement of time.

We had several indoor lessons for our daughter that went well. Then we took outdoor lessons and for the last we went to Snoqualmie and paid a lift ticket for nothing.The instructor (Tommy) did not show up and didnt give any excuses for that. We will no longer work with this company.

Took my wife here a few weeks ago to get up to speed before a trip to Stevens Pass. The leasons really improved her basics and most importantly, her confidence. Out ski trip was a success, and I have no doubt it was due to the leasons! Mini Mountain is all ages and they really cater to the specific needs of the skiier.
