For children between the ages of 3 and 14, the Keystone Ski & Ride School provides unrivaled lessons and a fun-filled experience on our three mountains.

What to expect in your child's lesson.

Children Ages 3 - 6

Your child will develop the correct moves right away under the guidance of our pro ski instructors.  We understand that a 3-year-old is different than a 12-year-old, and tailor our instruction in age-specific programs.  A fun, nurturing environment ensures that your child develops an appreciation for the mountains and a love for skiing. Registration begins at 8am.  Your child must be registered and ticketed by 9am.   Also, children MUST be potty trained.

Burton Riglet Park

New for 2012-2013, Keystone Resort has partnered with Burton Snowboards to create “Ripperoo’s-Burton Riglet Park”. An on-snow snowboard park and play area with fun terrain designed to introduce young children (3-6 year olds) to snowboarding. A “Riglet Reel” is fastened to the front that allows young children to explore the park and feel the balance they need to ride. The park’s focal point is Ripperoo’s Dog House with ramps that children can ride down, and a balance area. Playing in the park on small rolling hills and a mini-halfpipe allows children to gain the muscle memory to begin sliding and making turns on sloped terrain.

Ages 3 to 4 - $179 per day, rental included
Ages 5 to 6 - $191 per day, rental included
