Big Mountain Ski Panthers: 8-Week Seasonal Sessions
Big Mountain Ski Panthers gives advanced and expert skiers ages 8–13 the chance to take their skiing beyond the fundamentals. Designed as the next step after Mountain Ski Explorers, this program uses the entire mountain as a classroom for continued progression and adventure.
Throughout the season, experienced Snow School instructors will help skiers become more versatile and capable across changing snow conditions and challenging terrain. Participants will work on stronger turns, speed control, line selection, terrain awareness, and making smart choices while skiing with a group.
Morning and afternoon sessions are offered on Saturdays and Sundays. Families looking for a full day may register for both sessions, with pickup required during the scheduled lunch break. A season pass or lift ticket is required and is not included with tuition.
Big Mountain Snowboard Panthers: 8-Week Seasonal Sessions
Big Mountain Snowboard Panthers is designed for advanced and expert snowboarders ages 8–13. Building on our Snowboard Explorers program, it gives experienced young riders an opportunity to explore the full mountain while continuing to develop their technique, confidence, and independence.
Led by experienced Snow School instructors, participants will learn to read and navigate varied terrain, refine their turns and board control, strengthen mountain awareness, and practice safe decision-making. Riders will challenge themselves, discover new terrain, and continue progressing alongside friends with similar abilities.
Separate morning and afternoon sessions are available on Saturdays and Sundays. Want to make it a full day? Register for both sessions and pick up your child during the scheduled lunch break. A season pass or lift ticket is required and is not included with tuition.
