Super Sliders
A youth cross country ski program for children ages 4-11
The Super Sliders meet and ski on most Saturdays from December through March . 10:30am – 12:30pm
Children are grouped by similar age and ability to maximize learning and fun. The groups are led by volunteer parent coaches. Skills are developed through playing games, adventures, and by exploring the trails. We have found that children are more likely to stick with our sport if the parents are involved, so we give free season trail passes to parents too! FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
This is not a typical ski school “drop off” type of program. The Super Sliders rely on everyone’s help to make it so successful, and we require all parents to help in some way – whether its coaching if you have the skills, or making the hot chocolate, baking cookies, running the sign in table etc.
2013-14 program plan are in the works, stay tuned for updates in June.
New families – if you are not sure you are ready to commit – come to any of our sessions before mid Jan for a $20 trial fee (for Slider session, equipment & pass). The $20 will be applied to your annual fees if you enroll.

1-2-3 Ski Program
This unique elementary school program has been running for 14 years at the Club’s Training Center.
Before their visit club staff visit the children in their classrooms to introduce them to the sport of cross country skiing and the equipment they will be using.
On the scheduled ” ski day” children are outfitted with modern, quality ski equipment and are taught the basic skills of skiing by experienced Club instructors. As part of the educational experience children also learn about the history of the area with displays from The Western Skisport museum.
Since inception in 1994 we have introduce well over 20,000 kids to skiing!
We are currently looking for a sponsor to help run this program. Let us know if you can help
