• KIDS/PARENTS: If you have any questions about which program would be best for you, e-mail Judy (jgeer@pshift.com) or talk with Pepa.  All interested skiers are welcome to come to the after-school trainings at 3:30 on Tuesdays until school gets out. This will give kids a chance to try the training, and will help Pepa determine the best program for each skier.

Note: For all programs, scholarships are available for those who need them.
