Junior Explorers is a recreational ski program for children ages 6–8 years old. JRX encourages making new skiing friends while developing skiing skills on easier terrain. The skiing emphasis is on balancing movements, parallel turning, relaxed gliding and skiing with a confident attitude. More difficult terrain is used very sparingly in the lesson plan. The minimum skill level to enter JRX is to confidently control speed with wedge turns on beginner runs and to be able to ride lifts without an adult.
JRX consists of eight Saturdays or Sundays of skiing with a consistent group of peers and coaches. The approximate coaching ratio is 1 to 5 participants.
