CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW!

The focus of Mini GKHAT is to establish a foundation of strong skiing skills, teach young athletes how to ski safely on the mountain, ski as part of a group, and most importantly to have lots of FUN while exploring the mountain. We use a combination of all mountain and racing environments to develop skillful young skiers.
