Daily Lessons Let our experienced instructors teach your kids how to ski/snowboard for the first time, or coach them to have stronger skills all over the mountain! There are kids in our programs who have never ventured onto the snow, as well as those who are confident on our most difficult terrain. Whether you are looking for a single-day lesson or a season-long program, Gore Mountain has something to suit your child's needs. Choose from Mountain Adventure Programs, Holiday Camps, our daily Kids Klub Lessons or Day of Fun! To ensure the best learning environment for each child, we will group your child according to age and ability level. Skiers and riders ages 4-5 will spend time both indoors and outdoors, promoting fun and skill development that best suits their needs. 6-12 year-old skiers and riders will be grouped with others of similar age and ability. Our Snow Sports School encourages students to learn to ski/ride safely while developing skills and tactics that will allow them to explore the entire mountain. We work to create lifelong skiers and riders by helping them develop a passion for this outdoor lifestyle. Through early skill development, your child can move on to explore the variety of skiing and riding options- terrain parks, racing, freestyle, telemark skiing, or recreational fun. Please note that all kids programs (ages 12 & under) require participants to be wearing a helmet. If you purchase your program with rentals, a helmet is included in the package. If children are using their own equipment, they must bring a helmet with them or plan to rent one upon arrival. Thank you for your cooperation toward our effort of increasing safety on the slopes.
