Lessons 12 & Under
......................................................................................The Whitewater Ski and Board Club (kids program) is for children ages 4 to 17 years broken down into 4 different age groups. It runs for 10 weeks on either Saturdays or Sundays and we have a 5 day camp over Christmas or Spring break as well. Drop in for the day, or the afternoon, the Whitewater Ski and Board Club will naturally develop your child's skills through fun activities and games.
Our Whitewater Freeride Team is our new competitive program for the emerging ski star aged 12 –17 years, who want to go from average bro to nearly pro in all aspects of skiing and riding. This is a competitive program with an opportunity to learn new skills in a safe, supportive and fun environment. With safety in mind, our freestyle instructors will teach skiers how to perfect airs, jump with confidence and hone their overall free ride skills.
For those looking for something with less committment, we offer the Discover Ski and Snowboarding package for those new to the sport. For those that are a little more advanced, we offer the option of either Group Lessons or Private Lessons.
To book your lesson please email snowschool@skiwhitewater.com or call us in the downtown office at 250-354-4944 and we can assist you with your booking. NOTE that bookings made through the downtown office must be made at least 24 hours in advance and paid in full to guarantee instructor availability. Lift tickets, unless otherwise stated, are not included with the cost of the lesson.
