First Tracks for ages 2+

 Offers children ages 2+ an approximately one-hour beginner ski or snowboard lesson with a Killington Mountain Sports School instructor, picked up directly from our childcare center Friday-Sunday + select additional peak dates. Skis/snowboard, boots, and helmet rental are included, and our childcare staff handles all equipment fitting. Our approach is all about making it fun! We focus on helping kids feel comfortable in their gear and on the snow, and we won't push through if they're not having a good time, because we know a positive first experience is what builds lifelong skiers and riders.

What should I bring?

• Lunch is included for children eating table foods; parents must provide breast milk/formula for infants. You may choose to send your child with their own NUT FREE lunch if you wish.
• Please supply a change of clothing and plenty of disposable diapers and wipes for any child who is not toilet trained as well as diaper cream.
