For our youngest soon-to-be skiers/boarders, our most popular option is a private lesson. One-on-one attention provides the best instruction possible, ensuring they progress at their own pace. Our Snow Pros understand the uncertainty that comes with learning new things, they coax, encourage and care for children every step of the way. They will meet the child dressed and ready to ski/board at a pre-determined meeting place.
