I just want to learn enough to keep up with certain family members without risk of serious injury on the mountain, so I'm motivated but still scared, and the team made me feel at ease. It seems like they thought of everything at the facility; there are clean bathroom/locker rooms, cubbies for all your things, gear, and even a little bar area with coffee, snacks, and beer/wine for after a lesson or while watching your kiddos learn. Overall we had a great experience and look forward to the indoor lessons that *hopefully* will help me keep up with the fam on mountain. Oh, and my husband felt like the facility will really help him improve his on-mountain technique despite already being a great skier. So, great for everyone between newbie to experience skier.

Instead of giving into their frustration about lack of progress and hating messing with their bindings etc, I decided to book some open time at Shredder to work with them directly on the fundamentals. This was a perfect setting where they didn't need to worry about being bundled up, their gloves etc and could instead just focus on walking up the ramp, getting comfy with their bindings and working on leaf turns, heel stops, etc. The staff is very helpful and engaging and would squirt the artificial turf to help them go faster after they started to get better. A small complaint is we wish the ramp were longer as it's harder to combine multiple turns in a single run. This is a great place during spring / summer / fall for a quick review on the basics prior to heading to the slopes. They also offer camps, summer camps, seasonal lessons, etc. We brought our own gear but they have skis snow boards, boots and helmets available.

I learned a lot about my boots just from chatting with him--he's professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his customers. Service like this really stands out. Thank you, Jason, for getting my boots mountain-ready and making the whole experience enjoyable.

Our family of five skiers has spent a lot of money with Epic over the years (three growing kids)!…read moreWe've alway had a good experience until today, when I needed to exchange a set of brand new poles with the tag still on (just a tiny bit too tall for my growing teenage son, needed to exchange for one size smaller). My husband bought the poles last weekend, without me present, and of course he no longer had the receipt, as husbands are wont to do. I figured they have our purchases on file so I went in for the exchange. One staffer was super helpful, quickly grabbing a new set of poles in the size we needed. Unfortunately when the redhead went to do the exchange, she accused me of returning used poles because the rubber on the handles was slightly scuffed--I said no, they were just purchased last weekend and the tag is still on (with the snow was bad as it's been this year, we've hardly been up at all!). I said--that must be how you sell them, because you can see this new set I was just handed was also scuffed up on the handle. Of course after that she found the order (under my phone number not my husband's) but it feels pretty crappy to be accused of something when you're just a loyal customer trying to get the right size gear for your child. I have to say, I'll think twice before visiting this Park Meadows location again. Maybe Aurora will be better.

Do As I Say Not as I Do…read more Welding program & Pipe Program All in all Lincoln Tech Denver is just like the other for profit colleges I have been to. There are flaws in everything and everyone. Too often here have the upper management shown inconsistencies and out of touch in their part of interacting with students. Many students were asked by management at one point to sign a paper offering us an opportunity to speak out for issues that we have at the school. This never happened so our hopes of improving the school through our suggestions and constructive criticism fell very short and without explanation. During enrollment I and others were told that after the program we would be certified welders. This is honestly a lie. You are not a certified welder, you gain NCCER (which hardly anyone even cares or knows about in the real world) certifications through online testing for knowledge based book work. The only reason I didn't give Lincoln Tech 5 stars was for 1 reason only. That 1 reason is a teacher named Ramsey. Ramsey goes unchecked with his terrible attitude and bullying style of teaching that shocks many of us students in that he is still employed. We (many students) have verbally spoke to the dean about his behavior and nothing seems to solve his lack of empathy or his constant whining about his personal issues that we never asked to be apart of. I didn't enroll to hear sob stories and be forced to look at his pill bottles in some deranged attempt to manipulate us into doing what he demands we do. Leave your personal issues at the door. If it weren't for Ramsey this would have been a 5 start review. I have nothing but good things to say about these teachers as they personify what an instructor should be like. I am not saying they don't have their flaws but their excellence in teaching is undeniably high end. Brian Bennett was the first teacher I started off with. Not only does he strike a neutral respect with students but is a great listener and will take his time in teaching you and show you several different ways along the way. Thank you Mr. Bennett for all your hard and patient work you do every day. Joe is probably the #1 teacher in that you can expect the same standards every day from him. That always brings me confidence as a student to go to him with my problems in welding. He is very knowledgeable in seemingly all aspects of welding. His confidence does not rub off as arrogance but as something he wants to pass on to as many people as possible. I really appreciate your stable attitude Joe, thank you for everything. Todd is a wizard at welding and will give you honest feedback on how to improve your welding. You can always ask him for a real world perspective. He will not talk over you and will answer you to the best of his abilities or he will go research the issue or question and get back to you on it. I greatly appreciate everything Todd. Mr. Lopez is the jack of all metal. If you don't mess around and respect the time he takes to show you how to do something he will gladly give you new constructive advice each time he helps you. He has his stories but he's got a genuine heart to help students grow throughout their time at Lincoln Tech. So thank you Mr. Lopez for being the right amount of tough and fair.

I was a welding student at Lincoln who just graduated. I was there for just over a year. My first…read moreever class was taught by Austin Sleep. Austin was very helpful, always excited to teach and created an atmosphere of energy and enthusiasm for welding. He got us excited for the jobs to come and for what we could do with welding. Needless to say, I enjoyed my first two classes with him and improved very quickly. My third class is where things got messy. I understand that a lot of the time, classes will go from 110, to 120 then to a random class, and then back to 130. The teachers are like "that'll happen." I think this shows how unprepared this school is. WEL120 is a stick welding class. Going from 120 to 140, which is TIG, is majorly difficult. We never even learned how to fill up a groove with stick before we had to tackle flat, horizontal, and vertical fillet welds. Then, with only 2 weeks left, we were expected to also learn flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead groove welds. My entire class was discouraged. Many dropped out or flunked out. If everyone is struggling, something was obviously done wrong by the teachers. Austin was by far the most helpful. Dillon, Todd and Lopez are all condescending and very obviously fed up with teaching. Todd always looks at you like you have two heads, and Dillon always gives some snarky remarks back to you when asking a question. Yes this is blue collar work, but a teacher should be fully engaged in helping the students. The classes move too fast. 5 weeks for each process and type of weld. 5. For classes such as fabrication, MIG pipe or any plate classes, this is a good amount of time. But 5 weeks to learn 3 positions with stick is not a very long time. Especially if none of the instructors are willing to help. I had to watch youtube videos the whole time I was here to fully grasp the concept. They also cut you off completely from any new metal the day you graduate. I could understand this if they actually taught you how to use a plasma cutter to cut up old scrap. But no. They say "let me know when you need some cut" but then are never around or refuse to help you cut it. All together, I say to the reader, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! You can learn as much here as you can getting a helper job somewhere. If all you want to do is fabrication or structural welding, it's okay. But if you actually want to learn how to pipe weld, good luck.
