As the longest running snow school on the North Shore, Grouse Mountain's Snow School has a long tradition of highly experienced ski and snowboard instructors helping children gain skill and confidence on the slopes. This is the perfect way to set your child on the road to a lifetime of winter enjoyment. Our 3, 4 or 5 session half-day or full-day programs allow children to take up skiing or snowboarding, or continue to develop their skills in a safe and playful environment. Students are met at the base of the mountain and are supervised at all times. The 3.5 hour half-day session includes a minimum 2 hours on the snow.
