About the Jack Rabbit program
Jack Rabbits is a “learn-to-ski” program with a focus on fun and skills development for young skiers aged 4 and up. Kids will learn the basics of cross-country skiing through games and structured coaching. The emphasis is on encouraging children to enjoy this wonderful sport and to pursue it as a lifetime activity, recreationally or competitively.
