LITTLE MUCKERS | SKI ONLY (AGES 4-5)

The best way to get your little tyke to experience our winter wonderland on skis. Your kids will benefit from teaching techniques that have been expertly devised by the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance (CSIA). Our pros are trained specifically to deal with the needs of this age group. They'll get results much faster than when a parent or friend tries to teach them and as a bonus, you'll have some much appreciated free time on the hill yourself to get in some skiing without having to tow the little ones around.

JOKERS | SKI/SNOWBOARD (AGES 6-8)

A great chance to get out and make new friends all the while becoming a better skier or rider. Each week will focus on a different skill as you build your way to being a ski/snowboard superstar! But don't worry you won't even know you're learning you'll be having so much fun.

THE BLASTERS | SKI/SNOWBOARD (AGES 9-13)

The Blasters is open to skiers or snowboarders 9-13 years old. This program will focus on getting young skiers and boarders stoked on riding the slopes! The skills they develop will help them become confident and capable out on the mountain through games, exercises and guided freeriding ran by our skilled instructors.

APPRENTICE PROGRAM (AGES 13+)

For skiers 13+ who are interested in becoming a C.S.I.A. Level 1 Instructor, we have designed a 9-week long Apprentice Program. Through this program, you will be able to shadow lessons of various ages and ability levels as well as receive training towards your C.S.I.A. Level 1 certification.. After successfully completing the Apprentice program, you will be eligible to take a 1-day CSIA Level 1 Certification Exam.
