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! The Tiny Tots 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.
Tiny Tots lessons are 1-hour lessons and include standard hill access during the lesson.
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. Each program will begin by revisiting the level goals from the previous level on more challenging terrain.
Please note: Children must be toilet trained as instructors are unable to help in the washrooms. These lessons do not include parent participation.
