Kids & Youth Ski Clubs

Little Rippers (Age 3-4 )

The Little Rippers program is the perfect introductory program into the world of learning to ski for you and your child. The one-on-one tuition builds confidence both in the sport and with their independence, as each 45-minute lesson is tailored individually to ensure continuous development for each child, and a season of fun on the snow.

Offered for 6 or 12 weeks.

Ratio – 1:1

Wees Club (Ages 4-5)

In our Wees Club, we build on the foundation that was built in the Little Rippers program and introduce the kids to a social sports environment.

Days taught: Saturdays & Sundays

Ratio – 4:1
