Kids Rock!

Visit our first-rate children's facility, located in the newly built Northwoods Lodge. Here's a sampling of what's new for our programs this year!

*Discounted rates for consecutive multi-day Kids Klub Day of Fun purchases

*New covered bridge over the Snow Train conveyor lift! Our 100' Snow Train is similar to the moving walkways you see at the airport- kids can simply stand aboard and be easily transported up the hill. The ride will be even more fun this season inside the Snow Train Railroad Station!

*New sculpted terrain garden in Kids Klub- we'll create banked curves that help along your children's first turns!

Gore Mountain is kid-friendly, and so are our instructors. We can teach your children how to ski/snowboard for the first time, or help them improve! 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 ages 4-6 and snowboarders ages 5-6 will spend time both indoors and outdoors, promoting fun and skill development that best suits their needs. 7-9 year-old skiers and riders will be grouped with those of similar ability, as will 10-12 year-olds.

Gore Mountain is a family mountain. 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 then move on to explore the variety of skiing and riding options—terrain parks, racing, freestyle, telemark skiing, or recreational fun.

Mountain Adventure Programs

Kids' Klub Mountain Adventure Programs!
Skiers ages 4-12
Snowboarders 5-12

Entering its seventh season, the Mountain Adventure Program is a multi-week program for skiers ages 4-12 and snowboarders ages 5-12. Your children will have fun, meet new friends, and learn new skills, while working with the same team of coaches each week. Each week's session builds on the skills learned from the week before. You can drop your children off as early as 8:30 am, where they will be supervised indoors until going out on snow at 9:30 to begin their lesson. Those children in morning-only sessions will meet their parents at 12:00. Those attending all-day sessions will have their parents meet them in the Kids Klub, located in the new Northwoods Lodge, between 3:30-4:00 pm. Program includes lunch for all-day session participants.

Choose from 6-session, 10-session, and season-long options. Each Mountain Adventure participant will ski or ride with children of their age and ability.

Each program is available as all-day or morning-only sessions. In addition, you choose the program day which best meets your needs—all Saturdays or all Sundays. The season-long program meets every Saturday and Sunday, from mid-December through the end of March, ending with a festival day of fun. Hot chocolate breaks are offered mid-morning and mid-afternoon for the all-day programs. Each on-snow session is 2 1/2 hours, offering 30 minutes more of instruction time than our daily Kids Klub lessons.
