SKIWEE uses a group format dividing children by age and ability. Group sizes average from 4-8 children per instructor; and is appropriate for children ages 4-11. Please be aware of pick up times for all sessions. Please do not ask that we change these standards. Children younger than the age of 4 do not usually have the stamina, coordination, or attention span to begin learning how to ski properly. Children over the age of 11 usually lose interest in the program and become bored and frustrated. SkiWee emphasizes having fun and learning, we want your children to love the sport. Children: SkiWee easy as 1, 2, SKI!
When learning something new it is important to listen to your instructor, be patient, and have fun. So come ready to learn. We are out on the snow most of the day. Clothing layers that fit and are waterproof are important for comfort. Eyeware is stongly recommended. We,here at Winterplace, believe that the Childrens Center is the optimum learning program for your child. There are other ski school options.
