2012-2013 Bridgestone Winter Driving School Press Information

Thank you for your interest in the Bridgestone Winter Driving School. Located in Steamboat Springs, CO, the Bridgestone Winter Driving School is America’s first, foremost, and only purpose-built school for teaching safe winter driving techniques.

We're very excited for the upcoming winter. The Bridgestone Winter Driving School is entering its 30th consecutive season of operation. Since 1983, more than 80,000 participants have attended the school learning the proper techniques for driving in cold-weather, low-grip situations.

And we look forward to welcoming clients at our brand new headquarters. Centrally located at The Shops at The Steamboat Grand (on Mt. Werner Circle across from the Gondola Transportation Center), our new office and guest meeting area has been intentionally designed with our clients best interests in mind. A spacious entry, natural light, visual technology, and contemporary finishes compliment the Bridgestone Winter Driving School experience.

The Bridgestone Winter Driving School operates seven days a week from mid-December through early March. Half-day, full day, multi-day, corporate and private courses are available.

The school provides a complete range of winter driving programs for all ability levels, from the permit holder to professional race driver. Our experienced driving coaches are professionals who teach the skills and techniques necessary for confident and safe winter driving.

The 77-acre driving campus includes three purpose-built ice and snow covered tracks designed to challenge all drivers. The tracks are ultra-slippery, coated with more than 250,000 gallons of reclaimed water. Our broad range of 2013 year model Lexus vehicles equipped with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires are used exclusively to teach the fundamentals of safe winter driving.

Additionally, we offer our Telly Award-winning high definition DVD, "Modern Winter Driving Techniques", which can help add a visual element of understanding to the techniques of winter driving, and provide a better feel for our training facility.

The 2012/13 Bridgestone Winter Driving School Press Kit includes the following: letter from school director Mark Cox; course descriptions and pricing, school fact sheet; school and fleet press releases; available media resources; image library and image use guidelines; winter driving tips; and pictorial definitions of oversteer and understeer.
