Monarch, Winter Park Focus on Toddlers

Most three-year-olds can put on their shoes, throw a ball overhead, hop on one foot, walk on tiptoes, pedal a tricycle and walk on a line.

Now, with new programs at Monarch and Winter Park, your three-year-old can add “ski” to that list.

Monarch Mountain is offering group skiing lessons for three- and four-year-olds. The program is called Caterpillars, and the resort says it’s designed to have lots of play time.

Winter Park also has a program for three-year-olds. Just Because I’m Three is a full-day program that starts on a tiny indoor hill and ends on the snow.
That indoor concept is smart.

I watched a snowboarding class for four-year-olds at Copper Mountain a while back. It, too, included play time, but a huge chunk of time was devoted to keeping mittens, goggles and hats in place.
