Tahoe Kids Ski Program At a Glance Bookmark and Share
Thursday, 24 December 2009

It is never too early to learn to ski. All of the ski resorts in Tahoe have ski/snowboard programs designed for kids ages 4 and up, and some places offer lessons for 3 years old as well. Here is a comparison of kids ski programs at Tahoe.

Most of the ski/snowboard packages include full day or half day lift ticket, equipment rental, group lesson and lunch or snack.  If rental is not included in the pricing, we would note such exception.  Many of these programs require advanced reservation, particularly during peak season where classes can be filled up.  Among all the places, Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Area is one of the best places to get kids started. It's snowflakes program is designed for kids ages 3 to 6, 2 and half hours long, and cost about $65.
