About Crossroads:

Crossroads is a program with strong group dynamics, plenty of ski time, adventures on the hill and an introduction to other winter activities.

This is a program for children aged 8-12 who are able to ski most of the mountain in a parallel.  The program focuses on refining skills through exposure to a diverse set of on snow activities on varying terrain and conditions.  Activities including gate training, skiing bumps and glades, skiing terrain parks, jumps, synchronized skiing, etc.  Children will ski with the same group of coaches during the season developing strong group dynamics with the coaches and other skiers in the program.
