Come with family and friends to grow as a community. We offer alpine skiing and snowboarding lessons for all ages and abilities. We recommend Alpine for young children (under 9) to develop snow awareness and environmental awareness, as well as for many adults. There is undoubtedly a steeper learning curve for snowboarding compared to alpine (downhill) skiing. The goal is to have fun on the snow and with your family.The cost for lessons, lift tickets, and equipment rental is $17.00 per person for all MIM participants, regardless of skill (or sport, SB or Ski). The only requirement is that new/beginner participants commit to at least three lessons. We combine MIM coaches and volunteers with Troll’s professional coaches, and we guide families and youth from the time they arrive in the parking lot through equipment rental and dressing, to a smooth transition into a lesson. There is a coffee shop and a full restaurant to enjoy a hot cocoa or a meal afterward.The goal is to build a family and a community that ventures out and enjoys the opportunities that nature, outdoors, and adventure provide. We also use Trollhaugen as the launching point for graduates of our weekend programs at Wirth, with a focus on programming. Invite the whole family for Friday family fun at Troll!Please email info@melanininmotion.org or text 612.875.7803 with questions. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hastings/snowday-sunday-at-afton-alps-all-skill-level-family-lessons-all-ages/100001968861080492 - **Event Categories**: sports, trips-adventures, meetups, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 17, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Hastings - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: Afton Alps Ski & Snowboard - **lat**: 44.8576608 - **long**: -92.78780619999999 - **full address**: Afton Alps Ski & Snowboard, 6600 Peller Avenue South, Hastings, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: "Snowday Sunday" at Afton Alps- all-skill level family lessons, all ages - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/d91a8419fb831c54ddaa96db4abbe7798e44c37c0e494bb4df6fa1a77efb03f6-rimg-w1200-h900-dc636362-gmir.jpg?v=1763383064 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is "Snowday Sunday" at Afton Alps- all-skill level family lessons, all ages being held? - **A:** "Snowday Sunday" at Afton Alps- all-skill level family lessons, all ages takes place on Sun, 11 Jan, 2026 at 03:30 pm to Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Afton Alps Ski & Snowboard, 6600 Peller Avenue South, Hastings, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for "Snowday Sunday" at Afton Alps- all-skill level family lessons, all ages? - **A:** Tickets for "Snowday Sunday" at Afton Alps- all-skill level family lessons, all ages are priced at USD 17 per person.
