Students of all abilities will explore the mountain and improve their skills during the 10-week SKI program for K - 5th grade students.  Taught by instructors specially trained for this age group, our progressive curriculum builds on skills learned in prior weeks, with a continuous emphasis on safety, fun, and learning. Students are challenged in a fun, supportive atmosphere with activities, drills, and games to help progress their skill level, regardless of starting ability.

PROGRAM DATES:

Below are the official dates for the 2024-2025 season. Please add these to your calendar and take note of the 1-week break for Presidents' Day Week (Feb. 15-21). Our first day of programs is Saturday, January 4th.

PROGRAM TIMES:

K - 5th Grade programs

Saturday AM: 9:30am - 12pm

Saturday PM: 1pm - 3:30pm

 Before enrolling, please ensure that you/your student(s) are aware of and can adhere to the following:

• Age: Children must be at least 6 years old by December 1st, 2024, to participate.  No exceptions.  If we have questions about your student’s age, we reserve the right to ask for a birth certificate copy.  If a copy cannot be provided/age cannot be verified, your student will be removed from the program without a refund.
• Attendance: Please ensure your student’s attendance to the majority of lessons as excessive absence will result in your student falling behind and not having a group to ride with.
• Enrollment Limitation:  Due to the limited capacity of programs and high demand for enrollment, please limit (1) seasonal program per student. We may be able to accommodate more than one seasonal program per student, but this will depend on our Waitlist enrollment. If you are interested in enrolling in more than one program, please join our waitlist by emailing: school@snowkingmountain.com. This helps us accommodate as many local kids as possible.
• Refunds/Cancelation Policy: Upon request, a full refund may be issued prior to December 1st, 2024. After this date, refunds will not be issued.  In the event of a class cancelation due to weather or community health crises (e.g. COVID), while highly unlikely, we reserve the right to cancel up to (2) sessions without a refund.
• Chairlift Policy: Students in these programs MUST BE COMFORTABLE riding the chairlift without an adult. Instructor-to-student ratios prohibit the instructor from being able to ride with every student in the group (e.g. Some instructors will have 5 or 6 kids and our chairlifts hold only 3 or 4 people at a time). Our instructors will all be lift safety trained and will communicate proper safety and procedures to their students.  

Other points of consideration:

• Throughout the season, and especially before going up the lift for the first time, instructors will review lift safety with all students
• Instructors will gravitate toward riding with the youngest/smallest children
• As soon as students/instructors are loaded onto the lift, instructors will visually ensure that all safety bars are secured
• Rafferty Lift and Sunnyside Lift have straps to aid in pulling the bar down. The Cougar Lift does not have bar straps, therefore lift operators and instructors will help facilitate safety bar security

• Student Grouping: Students are grouped by ability.  To ensure fairness to all students in these programs, we do not accommodate ‘friend grouping requests.’
• Equipment: Starting the first week of October, you may visit Snow King Mountain Sports at the base of the Snow King Hotel to pick up your childrens gear for the season. Quantities are limited.  Seasonal gear rentals will NOT be available online.  For this age group, come to class with poles for the first session. If your student isn’t ready for poles, your instructor will advise you accordingly.
• Season Passes: Participants enrolled in our season-long programs will receive a pass valid for the 10 assigned days of the program. Full Junior Season Pass upgrades are available at the earliest season/lowest price for season-long program participants. Please add resort credits to your children's season pass. This will allow them to purchase snacks and meals from Kings Grill / Cafe during their classes. 

• Additional details: Items such as meeting location, check-in process, etc. will be sent in early December, prior to the program start date.
