YOUTH MULTI-DAY PROGRAMS

2026/27 PROGRAMS FOR YOUTHS

There’s always something to learn with Ski Santa Fe’s Youth Programs! From first-timers to advanced skiers and snowboarders, our multi-week programs help kids build confidence, develop their abilities, and foster a lifelong love of the mountain. Through play and adventure, students explore the mountain, challenge themselves, make friends, build skills, and become more confident on snow.

White Tornado Lottery

Due to the extreme popularity of our White Tornadoes program, enrollment will be determined through a lottery. We strive to create as many spaces as possible so that more kids have the opportunity to participate. Students who participated in White Tornadoes or the Five-Year-Old Program during the previous season will have weighted lottery entries, while some spaces will also be reserved for new students.

Lottery sign-ups will open October 10th and close October 24th.

All other programs, including the Five-Year-Old Program and Academy, will be available for purchase beginning November 1.
