DAYCARE & ON-SNOW PROGRAMS FOR TODDLERS

SIGNATURE START LESSON + DAYCARE | AGES 3-6

Signature Start begins with a 2.5-hour Rippers A.M ski or snowboard lesson that includes a Lift Ticket, Rentals and lunch. After the Ripper Ski or Snowboard Lesson, children will then spend the second half of the day in Daycare. This is a great opportunity for young skiers who need all-day supervision and are only ready for a half-day Ripper on-snow lesson.

We guarantee class size to be no more than three and taught by an instructor who specializes in working with young children.
