The details

  • Five Saturdays in January and February. Fifty minutes a lesson.
  • Three start times: 8:00, 9:00 and 10:00am. You register for one.
  • Up to 20 children a class, about five children to an instructor.
  • Skills: getting comfortable in the equipment, moving and skating on skis, snowplow turns and stops, riding the kiddie rope tow.
  • Bring skis, boots and a helmet. No poles. Seasonal rentals through the club's partnership with Ski Works in Ossipee, NH.
  • Children should be dressed and ready five minutes before the class starts, so the group can begin on time.
  • Managing the gear is tiring at this age. Try not to book anything else that morning.
  • Abenaki is closed to the public until 11am, so every Learn to Ski session is just our small group on the kiddie hill.
