Learn to Ski
& Snowboard.
Oregon's only indoor ski machine training center. Year-round lessons for every age — right here in Beaverton.
Portland's gateway
to the mountain.
PTO Ski & Snowboard is Oregon's only indoor ski machine training center, located in Beaverton. Our cutting-edge machines — 20 ft wide, 40 ft long — replicate real slope conditions with the same tilt, resistance, and edge feel you'll find on Mt. Hood, with room for up to 4 people at once.
From 3-year-olds on their first skis to adults sharpening their carving technique — our certified coaches build real skills that transfer directly to the mountain. No cold weather, no gear hassle, no waiting.

Watch what happens
on our machines.
Each machine is 20 ft wide and 40 ft long — big enough for up to 4 people training at the same time. Watch how our students go from nervous beginners to confident skiers, all indoors.
This is what focused, distraction-free training looks like. No mountain crowds. No weather delays. Just you and the slope.
Book Your First Lesson
Master it here. Conquer the mountain.
Whether you're a 3-year-old on skis for the first time or an adult who's always wanted to learn — the first steps are the hardest. We exist to make those first steps safe, fun, and fast.
No Cold, No Gear Hassle
Climate-controlled indoors. Show up in athletic wear. No packing, no prep, no problem.
Freezing temperatures, wet gear, long drives, risk of illness on the way home.
Safe for Kids (& Adults)
A fully controlled environment — no other skiers, no icy patches, no unexpected drops. Perfect for building confidence from zero.
First-timers on a real slope face other skiers, hard falls, and overwhelming terrain.
Faster Progress
Focused, repetitive practice on a consistent surface. Skip the frustrating beginner phase and progress faster than you ever would on the mountain.
Two years to master the basics — because mountain time is limited, expensive, and unpredictable.
Year-Round, Close to Home
Open daily, year-round, right here in Beaverton. No season tickets, no long drives, no waiting for snow. Train whenever it fits your schedule.
Ski season is short. Mt. Hood is an hour away. Weather can cancel your plans in an instant.
Not Just for Kids
Our indoor environment is judgment-free. Adults progress quickly, build real technique, and arrive at the mountain ready to actually enjoy it.
Adults face the same steep learning curve — plus the self-consciousness of falling in public.
Skiing is incredibly fun — but safety and confidence come first. Master it indoors. Then take on the mountain.

“I CANNOT recommend enough this INDOOR place in Beaverton called PTO Ski. It's like a giant snow treadmill and their instructors are great. If you're a beginner it is a GREAT place to get your start.”
“My daughter had her first ski lesson here and she absolutely loved it! The instructors are patient and encouraging. The indoor setting is perfect — no freezing cold, no long drives.”
“As an adult beginner, I was nervous about taking lessons. The coaches at PTO made me feel completely at ease. Within two sessions I was already linking turns.”
“We signed our 5-year-old up for summer camp and it was the best decision. She went from never having skied to confidently linking turns in just 4 days.”
“It's $130/hr for private lessons and it's worth it. If you get a friend to go with you it only goes up to $140 and you can split it.”
“Took my son here for his birthday and he had an absolute blast. The staff was super welcoming, the facility is spotless, and the ski machines are really impressive.”
