SKIwee Ages 4 & 5 

The SKIwee program is designed with the littlest skiers in mind. We recognize that our littlest guests are not necessarily as strong or as interested as their older brothers and sisters. We allow them more breaks with special snacks and hot chocolate, especially on those cold
days.

Junior Mountaineers  Ages 6- 12

The Junior Mountaineers are for older children of any ability. They are grouped with children
of their own age and ability and quickly make new skiing buddies. Using games and props, they quickly learn to ski safer, better, and explore new terrain.

Mini Riders Ages 4-12

This program is for snowboarders of all abilities. Children are divided into groups by age and ability level. Utilizing coaching techniques approved by the Burton Learn to Ride Program. Children Play games, and use special tools to improve their riding ability while having fun on the mountain.
