The Mitey Mites program is a pre-competition
development program designed for boys and girls
ages 5-9. The program offers an opportunity
for children to explore the various skiing
disciplines (both alpine and freestyle), preparing participants to
enter the competitive program of their choice.

Alpine Mitey Mite participants should have
the ability to ski green and blue trails at a
skill level that enables them to keep up with a
group. Emphasis is placed on having fun,
developing a lifelong love of the sport and
building skills all at the same time. We foster
healthy competition, good sportsmanship, team
work and social interaction along with
development of independence and responsibility.
We encourage parents to be part of the
program by talking with their children about
training, upcoming events and activities.
Providing positive reinforcement for your
children for all Mitey Mites activities will
help foster their love of skiing or riding and
winter.
The Mitey Mites program
operates every Saturday and Sunday from
the Saturday after Thanksgiving through the last weekend
in March. The program also includes
December school vacation week and either
Massachusetts or New Hampshire February vacation
week. Training sessions run from 9:15 am -
11:15 am and 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm.
It is our goal over the
course of the season for Mitey Mites
participants (with the help and encouragement of
their parents) to accomplish the following:
-
develop stronger skiing
skills through a progression of on snow
activities
-
display a positive
attitude and good sportsmanship
-
learn to train in a
group setting
-
work well with other
children and coaches
-
have a fun and safe
experience
