Children's Lessons
Kissing Bridge affords many exciting opportunities for your child’s ski and snowboard development. Starting with our KB Cruisers program, your child can develop from their first time to beginner chairlift/slope ready to Advanced KBC Mountain adventures. For our season long programs, we have BridgeBusters and BridgeBuster X for our more advanced skiers and riders.
Our Children’s Coaches provide your child time-tested and progressive lessons, from First Time Skier and Rider lessons to Advanced Mountain classes in a Safe, FUN and Energetic environment. Many of our Children’s Instructors hold Children’s Specialist credentials from PSIA-E and AASI. All of them have the special passion for teaching children, understand your child’s needs and foster and challenge their skills development through games and FUN on the slopes.
For more information regarding these programs, please email Ski & Ride School Director, Mike Bouquard michael@kbski.com. Also, to see some of the fun we have in our programs, check out our feed on Instagram.
