KID’S PROGRAMS 23-24

Our multi-day/week programs offer an excellent learning environment for kids of all ages and riding abilities. Snowbowl snow sports school instructors are enthusiastic and know how to make lessons fun and safe while developing skiing and riding skills The three-day Christmas Club is for kids seven and up and is the first program of the winter, running from December 27 through 29. It is an excellent “warm-up” for the season and our six-week programs.  This season, prior to the start of the official the six-week program, we will have an orientation, registration and “mini lesson-evaluation” on the weekend of January 6th and 7th. This is free and optional but will give the kids and parents a chance to get assigned to a class and meet their Instructor. We will start putting kids into their initial groups so we can start off the actual 6-week session without registration delays. If you can not make it on the first weekend, registration will still be open during the first weeks of the programs. The program will continue for the six weeks after January 8th and 9th ending February 17th and 18th.   Sorry there are no refunds or make up days for missed lessons. Early registration deadline for the 6-week kids programs is Sunday, January 7th.   Little Rippers will be half day only from 10 am to Noon.  Team Extreme and Board Heads will be offered as half day and full day sessions. Half day starting at 10:00 a.m. and going until noon. Full day starts at 10 a.m. and goes to 3:00 p.m. and includes a supervised lunch break. For the all day programs kids can either bring their lunch or sign up for the lunch program for six lunches for $32.00. Groups will be created on skiing and snowboarding skills. Enrollment is limited and minimum group size may apply. Parents need to be available to pick up their child at the conclusion of their child’s lesson. Don’t forget to sign up early-one week before the program starts and save the late registration fee. (Christmas Club by 12/20/23 and Kids 6-week programs by 1/7/24).

Christmas Club (December 27 to 29)

Get a jump on the ski season with this three-day program for kids ages 7 and up. For first timers, Christmas Club is a great way to get the basics down before starting one of our six-week programs and for those that have made some turns, a chance to sharpen their skills while having some fun during Christmas break. Christmas Club participants should register for Team Extreme or Boardheads (Little Rippers are not available during this session but lessons like Sugar Bears are). Christmas Club prices are one-half of the corresponding six-week program.

Six Week Programs

Little Rippers
Little Rippers is for younger skiers five to seven (four year olds will be accepted on individual basis) whether they are just beginning or have been skiing for some time. Group size is smaller to ensure a great instructor-student learning experience. There are a lot of breaks, snacks and games to support the skiing portion of the lesson, so the younger skiers can learn at a pace just right for them. For the beginners, lessons will begin on the rope tow and most students progress to ride the chair lift to ski beginner and intermediate runs later in the program. For the intermediate skiers focus will be on transiting from wedge to parallel turns with in the limits of the physical development (strength, coordination, and stamina). Black diamonds runs will be explored and fun will be a priority. Little Rippers is set up for half day only as we found that for this age group two hours is an ideal length.  Saturday or Sunday morning.

Team Extreme
Team Extreme is for novice to advanced skiers from ages seven and up (First timers should do the Christmas Club, Learn to Ski in 3, GSF or get approval from Snowsports Director prior to joining Team Extreme). Novices will start out on the beginner lifts, but will quickly progress to riding the chairlift and skiing upper mountain beginner and intermediate runs, more advance skiers will progress their skiing skills to learning parallel turns. Kids will stay stoked on skiing by learning new skills and new runs (even the occasional black diamond run) as they work towards becoming all-mountain skiers and developing solid parallel turns. Groups will be formed according to ability and age consideration.

Boardheads
For novice to advanced snowboarders ages eight and up (First timers should do the Christmas Club, Learn to Ski in 3, GSF or get approval from Snowsports Director prior to joining Boardheads). Learn to ride and improve your riding skills with other kids your age from some of the best riders on the mountain-our instructors. If you’re already ripping it up, there’s always something new to learn like managing steeps and crud or catching air safely. No matter what your ability is Boardheads rock! Groups will be formed according to ability and age consideration.
