Kids Ski Free Week
dates not announced yet
Groms 12 and under ride free with a paying adult all week. Early December is quiet, the lessons are easy to book, and the holiday crowds have not arrived yet. If you are building a young skier, this is the week.
Dates
Early December
The resort has not announced the next dates. We post them in the Journal the day they land, and the email list hears first.
What to book ahead
In the order they run out. Tickets and passes are sold by the organizer or the resort, never by us, so the links go straight to the source.
