Issaquah Ski School

Issaquah Ski School is a volunteer non-profit organization. For over 30 years, we have coordinated ski instruction to 4th through 12th grade students living in the greater Issaquah area. Over 150 students ski or snowboard for the first time each year, so if you have never skied or snowboarded before, now is a great time to give it a try.

Come join us on Saturdays at The Summit at Snoqualmie for 7 weeks of adventure on the slopes.

Transportation is on comfortable, chartered buses from three locations: QFC in the Renton Highlands, Issaquah Valley Elementary School and Discovery Elementary School.

PLEASE NOTE: Transportation only is for intermediate to advanced skiers and boarders. Beginners may NOT register for this option.
