Our Half Pints program is for kids ages 5-6! Designed to help your child gain confidence and mileage on the mountain, this eight-week program caters to all abilities and helps foster a deep love of snow sports.
To be eligible, your child must be potty-trained, willing to participate in an outdoor group activity and at least 5 years old by Dec. 1, 2026. We may require proof of age.
2026/27 Program Dates
Half Pints classes meet eight times over a nine-week period. No classes are offered during Presidents Day week. Snowboarding classes are on Saturdays and Sundays only.
Space is limited in all our youth programs, and they fill up quickly once registration opens. Enroll early for the best chance of securing your preferred day and time. For the 2026/27 ski season, program registration will open on Sept. 1, 2026.
