Mini Meisters is a 10-week program that develops a broader base of skills at a young age by alternating the disciplines of cross country skiing and alpine skiing. Skiers alternate weeks on alpine equipment and cross country equipment. This approach teaches more complete balance on skis and provides skill development that crosses over to all skiing disciplines, making the most of what Howelsen Hill has to offer. Enrollment for this program will reach capacity. Register early.
