Unfortunately Steamboat only offers 2 hour lessons which I found out the hard way their gondola sucked up an hour off. It stopped several times and was super slow. They also got snow the day before in late September and closed the top of Rawhide which is the main reason I went. I rode the jump trail twice, lower rawhide and Creekside but wasn't worth the 4 hours in driving and $130 in lessons and tickets .
