Tiny Toots and Little Toots

Tiny Toots & Little Toots introduces young skiers to alpine skiing through snow play, sliding on snow, exploring balance on skis, and practicing stopping and turning on skis. Both Tiny Toots and Little Toots use games, snow play, and sliding on snow as part of their lesson plans and group teaching approach. Tiny Toots is an introduction-to-skiing program for “never-ever” 3-year-olds and is designed for the youngest skiers with very little to no skiing experience, while Little Toots is for little skiers who may have some skiing experience but are still working on stopping and turning.
