This is a two hour learn to ski program for children ages 4-6 years of age and is offered twice a day, morning and afternoon. The instructor to student ratio is 4:1 so each child can only attend one per day. The children’s lesson is given in an area just for them, The SKIwee Bowl, and has its own surface lift, The Magic Carpet. Each student will progress through the class at their own rate so they may need multiple lessons in SKIwee before they graduate to the next level in the Learning Center. If the class needs a break, they will have a brief break in the bowl and be offered water and a small snack. Helmets are required and are included in the price of the program.
