Winter Youth Programs, ages 3-10

U8 Sking 2-Day

Participants in the U8 2-Day Skiing program establish a solid foundation of alpine skiing skills on appropriate terrain and in varying conditions. This two-day-a-week program focuses on fundamental alpine skiing skills, building a solid base, working together as a team, and skiing all appropriate terrain. U8 skiers will ski at both Howelsen Hill and Steamboat Ski Resort. Each child is placed in a group of similar age and ability that stays with the same coach for the entire season to enhance learning and progression. U8 skiers MUST be 6 years old by December 31, 2026. Register early to ensure a place in this program.
