Overview

Our Season Long program for ages 4-13 will offer your child a season of fun and adventure while improving their skiing and riding skills! Our premier Season Long program is open to novice – advanced level skiers and riders, ages 4-6 and 7-13. They’ll explore the mountain and develop skills to comfortably ski/ride the variety of terrain that Gore has to offer. Program includes a SKI3 Season Pass for all participants.

Students are grouped by like ages and ability levels, and will ski/ride with the same group of coaches each program day. In addition to developing skiing and riding skills, students learn the importance of safety on the slopes and respect for other skiers/riders, while also developing friendships and camaraderie with other students in the program.

Program Requirements: All participants must already be novice level skiers/riders: able to turn in both directions, able to stop and stay in a controlled manner on easier-rated/green circle terrain, and have ridden a lift prior to the start of our program. New participants are evaluated on their first weekend and placed in a group with others of similar ability. See our chart to determine your child’s ability level.
