Season-Long & Multi-Week Programs

Bear Cub Den Daycare

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're looking for a single lesson or a season-long program, Gore Mountain has something to suit your child's needs. Choose from Mountain Adventure, Holiday Camps, or daily Kids Klub Lessons!

To ensure the best learning environment, children are grouped 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.

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.

Private lessons are available daily for skiers and riders of all ages, including those too young (less than 4 years) to participate in our Kids Klub program. Reservations are preferred, please call (518) 251-2411 x1005.

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.
