Ages 3 - 5
Whether it is their first time skiing or something they already love to do, let us pass on our passion and excitement for skiing! This Preschool Ski program is catered to our tiniest winter enthusiasts. Our certified instructors deliver child-centered lessons to engage them in skiing and forget that they are learning.
Each program begins revisiting key skills from the previous level, advancing to more challenging terrain where appropriate. Participants will be evaluated at the beginning of the program and WinSport may adjust group placements to support an enjoyable and effective learning experience best suited to their skill level. All levels may be repeated multiple times to help build a solid foundation and allow your child to develop their skills at their own pace in a safe learning environment.
We focus on smaller class sizes with a target ratio of one instructor for every three participants for this program. Standard hill access is included during the lesson.
