Avi Training in the Tahoe area

I am moving to Tahoe around the end of may, as I am finnaly being aloud to leave uncle sams army after five years of service and two and a half in Iraq, and would like to get started on my Avi education. So if anyone knows of some info on when some classes will be available in the area would be a great help. Thanks alot guys, I'm coming there from michigan and as you probobly know there arn't to many slides in the Glorious mountains of michigan, and my desire to ski far outweighs my education, so once again thanks in advance for the info.
