Wolf Ridge Ski Resort Introduces an After-School Ski Program

This winter season send your latch key kid to the slopes of  Wolf Ridge Ski Resort.

The Western North Carolina ski resort is unveiling a new after-school program perfect for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities between the ages of 8 and 17.

The program will run on four Tuesday evenings in January from 5pm-10pm starting on January 10th. Each session will begin with a 90-minute lesson (5pm-6:30pm) followed by an open skiing and snowboarding session until the slopes close at 10pm. The goal of the program is to teach new skiers and snowboarders the basics, while allowing intermediate and advanced students to hone their skills under the trained eye of experienced instructors.

No one is more thrilled about this new course than Will Powell, Wolf Ridge Program Coordinator and PSIA Certified Ski Instructor, who has a deep passion for all things snow. 

“I started skiing when I was 8 and I wanted to create a program that would let kids experience the excitement of the sport,” says Powell.

Participants can choose from two different packages:
