2011-2012 Kids Local's Program News

Thank you for your interest in the Snow King Sports School Local's Programs for 2011-2012!

We are excited about our Local Children programs this season and we hope you will find them attractive. As you will notice we offer programs from 4pm-6pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in order to take advantage of the only night skiing in the valley. Our Saturday and Sunday programs are designed to provide options for families who are busy during the weekday evening hours. Our hope is to provide an opportunity for all our local children to learn!

Again this year, our Rope Tow will be located along side Snow King Avenue. However, this year we have installed the top unloading area higher up the hill. This ensures the school's increased exposure and accessibility. It will also create a bit steeper terrain and a better transition to the Rafferty Lift. Overall, it greatly improves our beginner terrain!!

We have added an additional Pre-K lesson on Saturday afternoon. We understand that it can be difficult for parents to get the little ones here during the week. Younger children need less distractions, and this time, like Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, will have fewer people on the beginner area.

Our Snowboard Program has moved to Sunday afternoon, and expanded. This move allows us to offer a program that is only 5 weeks long. It gives children a chance to learn snowboarding without committing the time and money of the whole season. It also allows skiers to try snowboarding. Check out Snowboarding in the powder of winter or the warmth of springtime! Either time is great at "The King"!

We know that finding recreation dollars can be difficult these days, but we feel we are competitive with the surrounding resorts and reasonable when you consider our convenient location and experienced instructor staff. Snow King has played a large role in developing many life-long enthusiasts of winter sports and I hope that you will continue to see great value in your Town Hill.

Again, thank you for your interest and if you should require any other information please feel free to contact me. Registration forms are available on the website in PDF format.

Let's make this a great season and thanks for supporting your "Town Hill"

Sincerely,

John Bitner

PRE-KINDERGARTEN SKI PROGRAM

4 and 5 year olds
  • Children Must Have Been Born Before JANUARY 1, 2008!
  • Children Must be Potty Trained, and Must Have Own Gear
  • 1 Hour Lift Ticket is Included

This program is designed for younger children who may need more individual attention, more time on the Rope Tow and a shorter lesson commitment. Our caring instructors will introduce the basics of skiing in a calm and controlled environment at our Rope Tow in a NEW location along Snow King Avenue in front of the Hotel. This terrain is quite gentle and will have less thru traffic than our beginner's areas in the past, resulting in a better learning environment.

This is the perfect age for kids to get into skiing, so bring them to The King for a great time!
