Ski Bees

PLEASE NOTE: Class size is limited this season to allow for the best experience for all students.  Be sure to sign up early!

SKI BEES 2024!

This program is for 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Children will play games in the snow, ride on the Magic Carpet (weather permitting) and learn how to put skis and ski boots on. A basic lesson that will help them to learn balance and begin to be comfortable on the snow is included.

NOTE: Most of the children in this group will not have skied before.  If your child has been skiing in the Alps (We’ve had that!), this is not the class for them…they should instead get private lessons.)

Classes are on Thursday mornings or afternoons.  The cost is $110.00 per 4 Week Session and includes lift tickets, lessons and rentals (including helmets).

Ski Bees Program Progression By Week:

Week One: The children will play games to get used to the snow and being in ski boots. We will then move on to walking games to show them the different positions their feet will be in when they are skiing.

Week Two: We will teach about the ski and how the boot fits into and out of the bindings. We will then have them practice gliding with one ski on, alternating feet. The Children will put both skis on and practice gliding skills.

Week Three: We will work on gliding with two skis and progressing into a wedge. The children will work on a gliding wedge to a complete stop.

Week Four: We will continue to work on a gliding wedge to a complete stop. We will progress into making turns to a complete stop.

During weeks three and four the children will use the magic carpet.
