"It is a relatively inexpensive and convenient way to learn how to ski and/or snowboard," Denison said. "Even children who already know how to ski use it to fine tune their skills. Many parents use it as a gift for the holidays."
Denison continued, "The kids who take our transportation are supervised by experienced chaperones who assist the children with rentals and help get them to their instructors."
Registration for this program closes Monday, Dec. 17. Refer to the flyer posted in the media gallery for more information, including pricing (or click here).
