The "Back to the Slopes" event marks the beginning of the resort's seasonal ski program, featuring deals, classes and snow fun for all ages and ski levels.
Snow Fun for the Whole Family:- The Mountain Top at Grand Geneva is staffed by a dedicated squad of over 70 ski instructors, with a select group that specializes in teaching children and beginning skiers. Led by Snow Sports Director Hans Hauschild, the ski team at The Mountain Top offers two ski programs created especially for kids:
Snow Cubs - This program, offered in January and February, is taught by professionally trained instructors in a group setting and is designed to introduce children 4 - 6 years of age to a snow experience.
Mountain Mites - This three-week program for children 6 - 14 years of age teaches ski skills under the supervision of professionally trained instructors, using a specialized teaching system.
In addition, the resort will once again be taking part in the nationwide "Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month" (LSSM), an initiative that encourages children and adults to take lessons from professional instructors and challenges current skiers and snowboarders to improve their skills with advanced classes. As part of the program, The Mountain Top will also be participating in LSSM's "Bring a Friend Challenge." There are two ways to participate:
Skiers or snowboarders can introduce a friend to a beginner lesson from a professional instructor.
Novice skiers or snowboarders can bring along a buddy to a beginner lesson from a professional instructor.
Participating guests will be entered in a contest for weekly prizes of snow gear and a grand prize ski vacation. For additional details, please call The Mountain Top team at 262.249.4726.
