Welcome to Otto Hollaus Snowsports Academy!

Since 1946 we have established a tradition of excellence in helping children and adults experience the joy of snow sports.

Having pioneered the concept of a "traveling school," we visit a variety of ski areas within a 60-mile radius of the Twin Cities. This format provides our students with new and different learning experiences each week.


• Our all-day lesson programs create a positive learning environment through strong instructional curriculum content in the morning coupled with fun, yet structured, activities in the afternoon.

• Our class size is small to facilitate individual attention for all students.

• Our staff are the best. They are always ready to provide assistance, security and comfort. Highly trained, they are passionate about winter sports, dedicated to their students' well-being, and possess a genuine love of working with youth.

• In teaching, connecting with students is vital for learning. Our teaching model addresses the cognitive, physical and affective development of our students to maximize the learning experience.

Etiquette. Respect. Responsibility. Sportsmanship. Team building. When working with youth we place the same importance on developing life skills as we do on developing skiing/riding skills.
