Ridge Runners and Ridge Riders  $599

Bolton Valley’s season long instructional ski (Ridge Runners) and ride (Ridge Riders) programs focused on kids (Ages 4-12 for Runners, ages 6-12 for Riders). The full program includes (11) Saturdays or Sundays (pick one) and runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (with lunch included.)  One advantage of this program is the student keeps the same instructor throughout the season which helps build familiarity and confidence on the snow. Our best veteran instructors coach Ridge Runners/Riders. The social benefits of Ridge Runners are undeniable. Parents get newsletters, photos and updates throughout the program. Kids can partake in fun events like the Cookie Race, ice cream socials, photos with the Bolton Valley Moose, and who know what else the future will bring!

Mini Runners  $299      

Mini Runners is a specially designed, season-long half-day instructional program for 4 year-olds.  Participants will benefit from an 11-week skiing experience in lessons that are just the right length for our youngest skiers.  Like our award winning full-day Ridge Runner program, Mini Runners will maximize learning through group consistency. Two sessions will be available for Mini runners on Saturday's from 9:30am - Noon or 1-3:30pm on the same dates as Ridge Runners. Participants in Mini Runners must be 4-years-old and will all start as "never-been on skis" so they progress together.

Mountain Explorers    $599

Mountain Explorers is an all-mountain experience for advanced skiers and is the next step up from Ridge Runners.  Participants should already be comfortable on black/advanced terrain and have a willingness to explore all Bolton Valley has to offer – steeps, trees, bumps, the backcountry and maybe even the terrain park. Price does not include season pass/lift tickets. This program is only available for skiers. 

This group will be coached and supervised by some of the most knowledgeable and experienced instructors in the Bolton Valley program.  Independence, growth and self challenge will be encouraged within a balance of fun, safety and learning.  Explorers will be encouraged to attend every session to maximize fun, learning and group consistency.

Mountain Explorers will parallel the Ridge Runner/Rider programs and will meet Saturdays or Sundays from 9:30am until 3:00pm.

Mini Racers  $299

Designed for young skiers who are interested in racing, but would like a more introductory approach. Mini-Racers work on the basics with a BVRC coach and have fun. Ages 7-10. This 6-week program is available on Saturday mornings from 9:00a.m. – Noon.  If numbers and abilities warrant participants may be divided into groups based upon ability level and an afternoon session may be added.
