First the positive- Our son and daughter both really enjoyed their days in their respective ski programs. My son (age 3) was in the Palamino kids program for his first day on skis. The program is effectively a child care program, but they take the kids out for an hour and a half while the older kids are having lunch.... More

My husband and I chose Steamboat Springs, CO for our four-year-old son to learn to ski because of the resort's premier ski school for kids. We enrolled our son in the Sundance Kids program at Kids' Vacation Center and were very pleased with the results. The staff is friendly and helpful. At the end of each day's instruction when you...

We had heard this was one of the best ski schools in the world and we weren't disappointed, our kids aged 5 & 6 had a great time.

The staff was great with my 4 year old. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their hands. He had fun and even got a nap in! And I got to ski ALL day!

My 5 year old son had never been on skis. We have hardly had snow in the last couple of years. We put him in a 6 hr class and were very content with the supervision and care. They have a great system set up for getting the kids outside but providing breaks, lunch and a gondola trip. My wife... More

I ski almost every day which puts me on the Gondola with young kids heading to the top with their parents or their instructors. I hear these young kids begging their parents to let them go to ski school because it is so much fun - much more fun than skiing with mom and dad. Or the kids joking with... More
