Volunteer Day: 10am-4pm (potluck to follow). We're getting close to season opening (Yah!)....but there's still a lot to do around the club and we need your help!!! The iVolunteer portal has been updated so you can sign up for a task or 2 as well as the potluck. Maybe you want to help out in the morning and then go for a hike on one of the trails in the afternoon and return for a warm and cozy chili dinner in the chalet.   Hope you can be part of our awesome community.  

Note: the January 4th session is cancelled due to thin snow in the stadium area where programs are held. See you on January 11th

Youth Programs including Bunnyrabbits, Jackrabbits, and Track Attack focus on skills and fun! For children from age 4 to 14, these programs are scheduled for 8 weeks in January and February 2025 on Saturdays (January 4, 11, 18, 25 and February 1, 8, 15, 22)

• Bunnyrabbits: Saturday afternoon 1-2 pm
• Jackrabbits: Saturday afternoon 1-3 pm
• Track Attack Skate: Saturday afternoon noon to 2 pm

Please note: we have shifted all programs to the afternoon to better accommodate class groups, avoid early morning cold weather, and make it easier for families with children in different programs.

The main focus of all our youth lessons is fun on the snow. Within each program we aim to address the needs of beginner and experienced skiers, sometimes in separate groups.

For more information check out our programs online.
