WHAT WE ENJOY:

– Amazing programs for kids to learn to ski in the winter and bike in the summer.

–  The instructors are fantastic and really care about the children they teach

– The program is well organized and well run

– The GPS tracker they put on the kid’s legs makes the day safer as instructors can call in immediately to see the location of any child who may have made a wrong turn, plus as a parent you get to see everything they’ve done in a day.

Getting your child prepared 

– Bring all of your properly fitted ski/board equipment—boots, skis/board helmet & goggles. Make sure children haven’t outgrown their equipment over the summer before the first day! Please ensure skis/board are waxed, tuned and the bindings have been reviewed recently.

– Waterproof ski/snow suit and waterproof gloves or mitts.

– Dressed appropriately for the weather/temperature. Dressing children in layers is always recommended. Thermal long underwear & proper socks are essential for your child’s comfort. Thin balaclavas are also great for fitting under the helmet and protecting your child’s face & neck in the cold.
