Youth Skiing Programs

Pathfinders & Wee Ski

Introduce your child to the excitement of cross-country skiing with our engaging youth programs! Designed for ages 3-12, these programs provide a fun, supportive environment where young skiers can build confidence, develop skills, and build a life-long love for cross country skiing. With expert instruction and age-appropriate activities, kids will learn the fundamentals of cross-country skiing and a new way to enjoy winter in the Adirondacks!

Each program session is two hours in length and will also feature a mix of indoor activities, special guests, and other engaging experiences that inspire a love of the Nordic lifestyle. Participants may join the full program or drop in for single sessions.

Our Wee Ski program is a fantastic way for little adventurers to take their first strides on skis. This parent-child experience allows young skiers to explore the snow in a safe and playful setting, with guidance from our experienced instructors. Through skill-based activities, storytime, and movement sessions, kids will develop balance and coordination while having a blast. Parents can join in the fun and then enjoy a break, or head out for a ski on their own, while their children participate in engaging indoor activities.
