Bridgestone Winter Driving School

Fantastic experience: I had three teenage boys take this class over the course of 3 years as new drivers. They all said it was one of the best days of their life! The instructors were professional. The experience was invaluable. My boys have said many times that they would have had an accident if it wasn’t for this class. We are huge fans! This is an exceptionally well run program!

Fantastic experience: Such a great class. Put everything to use driving home in blowing snow from steamboat and today running around Denver and Arvada

Fantastic experience: Completed the Second Gear driving course today and it was great! Toyota sponsors this program by supplying new Camrys, highlanders and 4-Runners to learn on while Bridgestone equips them with their popular winter Blizzak tires. I was impressed by how much grip we had on the course with this combination. Instructors Claire and Promo were very knowledgeable and highly skilled with delivering positive corrections to improve the skills we learned. I would highly recommend this course for young or new drivers and older more experienced drivers as well. The skills you learn will make you a safer and more confident driver. Great combination for winter driving. I had a lot of fun! Thank you Claire and Promo.

Fantastic experience: We went on a very hazy day and couldn’t even tell what was earth and what was sky. The instructors did an amazing job keeping everyone safe and having a good time while learning a ton! Can’t say thank you enough for a wonderful visit.

Fantastic experience: It’s been about 7 years since I took this course, but I was able to prevent a pretty serious loss of control in my car on a North Dakota highway today because of what I learned at this school. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My company sent me here years ago , It was amazing ! You think you have skills ? Be humbled by some of the best driver/instructors in the country.

Fantastic experience: Completely made me rethink everything I was taught as a driver! Class: 3rd Gear - Lea and Shawn were outstanding, patient, supportive. It was a gift to me from a very experienced driver. Afterward, I told them how much I learned and now they’re all in to take it with me next time. I was a reasonable winter driver in a class with two dads and 3 driver grads from 2 other driving schools plus a repeat executive protection professional. One of the dads bought as holiday gift as a bonding experience, while the other dad realized from that that his 15 year old should experience this. I agreed! At not one moment did I feel intimidated. The staff is inclusive and passionate. 10 out of 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Melanie does a great descriptive and accurate review below. I'll just say what a blast my son and I had with you. Thanks to AJ and Scott. So happy to have closed out your 2018 season. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: PHENOMENAL!! ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! i left this course stronger more confidant and it payed off only hours later when i was able to successfully avoid a fallen skier who fell into the street in an off kilter downhill snow packed bank on the way down from the slope. i strongly feel that before this course this would have turned out much much differently. this course not only makes you a stronger driver but it makes you a proactive driver rather then a reactive driver. the instructors are incredibly friendly and encouraging. their style is smooth and professional and their understanding of this is vast. i would HIGHLY recommend this course for yourself and anyone you know who drives in these kinds of conditions. it makes worlds of difference! GOOD JOB BRIDGSTONE AND LEXUS !! and thank you Morgan for all your support!! your the man!!!

Fantastic experience: I have ridden snowmobiles, mushed a dog sled, ridden in a hot air balloon, and have done nearly every non-skiing activity a resort town has to offer.However, participating in the Bridgestone Winter Driving School is hands-down the best activity to do when taking a ski break. This one of a kind activity can only be done in Steamboat Springs, CO. They clearly explain what a car can do on the snow and ice, and teach you how to use steering, braking, and acceleration collectively and independently for control. The morning is spent practicing these real world skills of braking and turning, then the drivers are sent to the track to put the practice to the test. The afternoon is spent teaching how to steer while braking, becoming comfortable steering without a brake, and how use the lateral weight of your vehicle to your advantage. After these practice drills, the drivers have more time to test these skills on the track. During all the drills, practice, and laps, the school has radios in the vehicles to coach every step of the way. The instant feedback is phenomenal for the learning process. The final activity was participating in a ride along with one of the instructors, who demonstrated how to REALLY drive, which ten times better than any roller coaster. The instructors were informative, humorous, and made the learning meaningful. Bridgestone Winter Driving School is definitely a 'can't miss' Steamboat activity.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience - learned to get comfortable with huge under- and over-steer, left-foot braking, and using weight transfer in all 3 driveline types to control a sliding vehicle. Will help with both roadracing and street driving. Highly recommended.
