KVR Youth Ski Club is an opportunity for youth to work on skills and gain confidence on skis in a setting guided by KVR instructors.

Those interested in Youth Ski Club are asked to attend a brief Club orientation.

Registration for KVR Youth Ski Club is OPEN.

Outside of class, we encourage the whole family to get out and ski together.  Adult rentals are available from KVR and local shops, reach out the KVR for more resources.

____________________________

Youth Ski gear rentals are available for children (ages 4-12 years) depending on boot size. Rentals for youth are seasonal. From January to when conditions deteriorate. 

 

Thanks to the Friends of KVR, Go Macro, Organic Valley, and Dregne’s in Westby, healthy snacks and a small fleet of quality equipment is available to our club members.  Due to limited equipment sizes, all rentals are on a first-come-first-served basis.
