Winter 26/27 Youth Ski Program!
Program Overview
Our youth ski program is for skiers grades K-8 and is open to all local communities. Our program is great for first time skiers and kids who have been on skis their whole lives. We focus on building athletic/skiing skills, fostering a positive and encouraging environment, and, most importantly, having fun on skis!
We do not have paid coaches- we rely on volunteers and parents learning and helping fill coaching roles.
Please read through this information and follow the sign-up link at the very bottom of this page!
Age Groups:
Snowy Owls: Grades K-2 (starting in January)
Red Foxes: Grades 3-4/5
Bobcats: Grades 5/6-8
Skate Skiing: Open to Bobcats and Red Foxes
(We shuffle kids around based on ability, peers groups, etc.)
Cost:
There is no program fee, but families need to be annual members of the club. If the annual cost of membership is prohibitive to your child/s involvement, here are some options:
Purchase just an individual membership
Do not purchase a membership. No questions asked on our end, and no reminders for payment.
Same with equipment rental (after year 1). No questions asked and no reminders to pay if you can’t pay.
Ski Lease:
Free for first year skiers.
$50/season rental afterwards. We have about 30 sets. Rental package includes skis, boots, and poles. We also have about 10 pairs of skate skis that are available for rent.
Attendance Expectations:
Balancing busy family schedules is tough, and we know our skiers are involved in many wonderful activities. While we don't expect absolute perfection, regular attendance is vital for a positive experience.
At this age, skiing skills develop at lightning speed. When a child misses multiple sessions, it can be tough for them to reintegrate into the group. They may feel socially left out or discouraged by the pace of the group. As a volunteer-led program, we simply do not have the staffing to pull a coach aside for one-on-one catch-up lessons. To set your skier up for maximum fun and success, we ask that you make regular practice a priority.
