Adventure Rangers and fun activities for your children!

Available December 11, 2009- April 4, 2010

Adventure Rangers group lessons help kids develop the confidence to explore the mountain and their limits, to be smart on the slopes, and, most importantly, to have fun. The full-day Adventure Rangers program includes lessons, races, guided on-slope treks, interactive nature discovery, and supervised afternoon fun indoors. An extended program is available for advanced skiers and snowboarders who want to continue exploring the mountain until the end of the day. You may even want to consider the benefit of a private lesson.
