Welcome To Our Kids Multi-Week Snowsports Programs

Thank you for your interest in the Mt. Bachelor Kids Snowsports programs. Our multi-week programs are designed to provide kids with an optimal learning experience and, along the way, develop a love of snowsports that will last a life time. Did we mention they will have a great deal of fun, too?

This guide will help answer questions, give program details and help you determine if the Mighty Mites, Mighty Riders or All Mountain Skiers and Riders programs are right for your child. There are details about location, times, what to bring and other pertinent information. We have tried to answer most questions, but don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions that are not answered here.

Our coaches are select members of our ski & snowboard school who specialize in teaching young skiers and snowboarders (ages 4 -14). Please respect our minimum age requirements. Our core focuses are FUN, mountain awareness and skill improvement through progressive coaching that will create strong, independent skiers and riders with a love of snowsports.

Mighty Mites program is for 4 and 5 year old skiers only.

Mighty Riders program is for 4 and 5 year old snowboarders only.

All Mountain Skiers and Riders program is for skiers and snowboarders ages 6-14.

Ski & Ride SESSIONS program is for skiers and snowboarders ages 8-14.

Any requests or questions can be e-mailed to Tosha Treat at ttreat@mtbachelor.com. The All Mountain Skiers and Riders program is for skiers and snowboarders looking to develop the fundamental skills needed to advance to a competitive racing program, or for those looking to ski with a group of friends with the guidance and instruction of a coach in all mountain conditions. Coaches for the race-oriented groups are selected because of additional training in USSA coaching techniques and previous racing/coaching experience. The NASTAR course is now available to participants in our All Mountain Skiers and Riders classes.

Minor Helmet Requirement
