KidzWorld: Tiny Rippers, Big Smiles — Here’s How We Get Kids Ski-Ready
We’re about six weeks from first chair, and my stoke meter is already pinging. Last January I watched a 5-year-old go from cautious sidesteps to linking turns in one session and the proud little “did you see that?!” head tilt was everything. If your kiddo’s itching to try snow, or level up, KidzWorld at Greek Peak is where the magic clicks in.
How It Works
KidzWorld is our dedicated zone for ages 4–12, with two pathways: Mountain Minis (ages 4–6, ski-only, half-day) and Trail Blazers (ages 7–12, ski or snowboard, half-day or full-day). Lessons run in small groups on age-right terrain (carpet lift for Minis), building skills and confidence at a fun, kid pace.
Every KidzWorld booking includes an all-day lift ticket for the child participant—perfect for them to keep making turns after their session wraps. Full-day Trail Blazers also includes lunch. Reserve online 24+ hours ahead, and check in through the Rental Facility 15–30 minutes before your start time.
What You Get
KidzWorld is simple by design: two age-right tracks, friendly terrain, and instructors who know how to turn nerves into grins.
- Mountain Minis (ages 4–6) is ski-only and runs as a half-day with carpet-lift time to build those first turns.
- Trail Blazers (ages 7–12) offers ski or snowboard in half-day or full-day formats, with lunch included on full days. Session times are 9:30 AM–12:00 PM or 1:00–3:30 PM (full-day runs 9:30 AM–3:30 PM).
Every booking includes an all-day lift ticket for the child participant so they can keep lapping after their lesson; it’s extra convenient if the rest of the family already has tickets or passes. Rentals are an easy add-on at checkout, online reservations are required 24+ hours in advance, and you’ll check in at the KidzWorld building about 15–30 minutes before start time. For school breaks, the Holiday and President’s Week camps add more time on snow with instruction, lunch, and an all-day ticket for the participant.
Pro Tips from Mountain Mike
Plan a little buffer on the front end; 30 to 45 minutes for parking, check-in, rentals, and that inevitable “one more bathroom stop.” Dress your kiddo in non-cotton base layers, a cozy mid-layer, and waterproof outerwear; mittens beat gloves for warmth, and a neck gaiter is worth its weight in hot cocoa. If your shredder is 4–6, we’ll stick to the carpet lift zone to build wins fast; 7–12s going full-day get those afternoon reps that really lock in new skills (I’ve watched it click between lunch and last chair more times than I can count). We’re a cashless resort, so bring a card or tap-to-pay. If you’ve got cash, our Reverse ATMs in the hotel lobby and main ski lodge can convert it in a snap. And before you shop for dates, set up your account so checkout is smooth; earlier booking just gives you better session choices without any scramble.
