JUST FOR KIDS
Their confidence will grow by leaps and bounds.

At Mount Southington, children learn how to do more than just ski. They learn how to grow up. Falling down then getting back up again is one of the most important lessons we can teach our kids. And here, our certified instructors make it fun too!
 

 

For our youngest learners, our protected Glacier Learning Area includes a carpet lift and handle tow for an easy way up and thrilling way down. Students then progress to our Beginner Area, Terrain Parks, racing slopes, and other areas throughout the mountain. Just watch their confidence soar!
