About Snowflakes (kindergarten-2nd grade)
This is a 1-day on snow program for our youngest beginner skiers to advanced skiers. Coaches work with skiers to learn the basics which include using equipment, body position, how to stand up and how to fall down and uphill and downhill technique. Skiers learn through group games and skill development activities to become more confident skiers. Skiers are encouraged to participate in local ski races to continue to develop skills.
Coaches: Stacy Bebo, Doria Ware, Jen Lockhart
