Kinder Gliders is a 6-week program designed for children in Kindergarten and 1st grade who are ready to build on their skiing skills. Perfect for beginners and graduates of Mini Gliders, this program focuses on learning and having fun on classic skis. Lessons are shorter and less frequent than our more advanced programs, making it a great next step for young skiers. As participants gain confidence, poles will be introduced when appropriate.

Parents or guardians play an important role in supporting their child during sessions, either on skis or walking alongside. Kinder Gliders creates a positive, playful environment where kids can develop new skills, stay active, and enjoy the excitement of cross country skiing.

Equipment Requirements & Rentals

All participants need classic skis, boots, and poles. You may provide your own or rent a set for $70 (while supplies last). Rental pick-up will take place at Utah Olympic Park on scheduled dates announced before the program begins.
