One thing I really enjoy witnessing is children being introduced to the sport of snow skiing or snowboarding. It’s so good for kids! Skiing provides a very fun form of exercise they’re sure to enjoy and it also promotes quality family time. Just for the young skier, here’s the information you need about snow skiing and snowboarding at Sunrise Ski Park.

General Information

Lift tickets for your kids are really reasonable, with half day weekend or all day Sunday passes for only $23 (age 12 and under). Youths (teenagers) can buy a lift ticket for only $35. Even with the price of equipment rental from our store, this is a really inexpensive cost for hours of fun and healthy exercise.

If your kids are very young (6 or under), they are eligible for Funland at Sunrise. Funland programs offer babysitting services with or without a lower mountain lift ticket for a bit of bunny slope skiing.

Group lessons are also available through Sunrise’s Mountain Explorer for kids aged 7 to 12. They can take either snow skiing or snowboarding lessons for an entire day or half a day. If your kids already know their way around the slopes, you might consider enrolling them in a refresher or “Improve” course.

Sunrise A-Team

Another option for ensuring your kids learn all about snow skiing and snowboarding while honing their skills on the slopes is to enroll them in the Sunrise A-Team. This course runs the rest of the season on Saturdays from 9 AM to 3 PM. Although it officially started January 7th, you can still enroll your kids for the next 8 weeks for one low price.

Young athletes will learn the fundamentals of snowboarding and snow skiing in a variety of conditions and terrains. The emphasis is on enjoying winter sports as a team, although coaching is done on an individual needs basis. If you have a budding Winter Olympian, this is the perfect course but even young skiers or snowboarders who are just interested in casual fun will enjoy it, as well!

The A-Team prices do not include equipment or lift tickets so be sure to stop in at Krissie’s on your way to Sunrise to buy a lift ticket and rent anything your kids don’t own, such as bib overalls, boots, poles or a snowboard. For more information about the A-Team, please call Sunrise directly at 800.772.7669 ext. 2306.

At Krissie’s Ski and Board, we encourage every young person to try snow skiing or snowboarding at least once and find out how fun this wonderful form of exercise can be. Don’t deny your kids the chance to join in the family fun at Sunrise Ski Park.
