Alta Explorers (AEX) is an eight-week recreational ski program on Saturdays or Sundays for novice skiers ages 9–13. Participants will practice fundamental skiing skills and progress toward parallel turning and speed control on more difficult intermediate runs.
The minimum skill level to participate is confidently controlling speed with wedge turns on beginner runs. Three or four All-Day Ski Adventure Class Lessons and a few hours of independent practice would be the norm for this age group to acquire the minimum skills.
The approximate coaching ratio is 1 to 8 participants.
