3 Year Olds
Whether you are here for a day or for the season, we have a great program for your 3 Year Old. These skiers have their own indoor space separate from the big kids but the majority of their time is spent outside on the snow. Class ratios are kept low to ensure a safe sensitive learning experience.
3 Ski Adventure
This is a full day program for 3 year old skiers. Is this the first time for your 3 year old? We’ll give them a FUN introduction to skiing with no pressure. Is your 3 year old already skiing off a chairlift? Fantastic! Our groups form according to ability so we have a class for your little ripper. Children need to be toilet trained, able to communicate their needs and willing to participate.

Remember that young children have trouble with separation especially in a new place! Please allow time to stay and help your child adjust. We encourage you to talk about their FUN lesson ahead of time so they can prepare for the transition. Explain where you will be and that you will be back to see how great they did! Parents are encouraged to check in on the lesson, but be mindful that this can be disruptive and raise anxieties again. We recommend a phone call.
