Details
This fun, no-snow-needed class is designed for young first-time skiers (ages 3+) and their adults. Led by a seasoned instructor with experience in the Alps and at The Summit at Snoqualmie. We'll cover everything from ski gear basics to age-appropriate dryland exercises that mimic key on-snow skills. We will cover balance, stances, wedges, and getting up from a fall. Skiing is a big investment, and this class helps families avoid those frustrating first-day meltdowns by building skills and confidence ahead of time. It's also a great way to connect with other skiing families and get excited for winter adventures.
