Kids' Lessons
Sorry, we currently don't have capacity to accommodate children in ski lessons due to availability of coaches. If you’re interested in being placed on a waiting list for children ages 4-6 (Bunnies and Jack Rabbits 1), please contact us at WhiskeyJackNSC@gmail.com.
If you are willing to volunteer as a coach, we are hosting a Coaches Clinic on December 5-6. Please contact us at WhiskeyJackNSC@gmail.com.
Our club has certified ski instructors!
Lessons start January.
