A New Year's Message from Winter4Kids

As we welcome the new year, we’re grateful for the continued energy and support surrounding Winter4Kids.

This season has been a time of renewal and growth as we continue to build around our RISE values, creating environments where young people can grow with confidence, resilience, and joy. Our on-snow experience emphasizes progression and engagement through strong instruction and the NEW Winter4Kids Progression Park.

Across the mountain, new and reopened terrain and recent facility improvements have expanded our ability to serve participants and provide a smoother, more welcoming experience for everyone on site.

This year brought program growth with the expansion of our First Tracks program to include First Tracks 4U, which launched over the holiday break and allowed us to welcome more families into the Winter4Kids community. We’re especially proud to share that this year we will welcome our 20,000th First Tracks participant, a milestone worth celebrating.

Community engagement continues to be central to our mission. Through events, partnerships, and volunteer involvement, we’re building stronger connections that extend beyond the slopes and into the communities we serve. We hope to see you on the mountain on February 22 for our Chill & Chili event, the first time Winter4Kids will be open to the public. It’s a special opportunity to come together, celebrate winter, and experience Winter4Kids as a community.

Thank you for being part of Winter4Kids. We wish you a happy, healthy, and joy-filled new year and look forward to seeing you on the snow.
