It is well known that the holidays can stretch many beyond their physical, financial, and emotional capacities.

Unlike many learn-to-ski programs across the state, Valhalla Shred Academy is available to skiers and riders of all experience levels—not just never-evers. Participants are grouped together based on age and ability level. This program is a cost-effective way to introduce a child to skiing or snowboarding. For more experienced athletes, it’s a chance to hone skills under guidance of an instructor, to hit the slopes with other skiers and riders at a similar level, and get some fresh mountain air one night a week during the darkest days of winter. Best of all, the program takes place at night. Classes start at 5:00 p.m. so no school needs to be missed, and no early-out excuses are necessary. When the two-hour class ends at 7:00, kids can ski for the rest of the evening until the 8:00 p.m. resort close time. Pricing varies based on age and preferred day of the week. Rental packages are also available for students who do not have their own gear. Get your kids outside and on snow this winter! Registration is currently open at nordicvalley.ski/after-school-ski-programs/. Classes are expected to fill up, so early sign-up is encouraged.
