Okemo Mountain Resort owners, Tim and Diane Mueller know a little bit about getting kids into skiing. They raised two children on the slopes and now their son Ethan is the operations director at Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado, and their daughter Erica is a member of the Olympic snowboard team.

Most families visiting Okemo start with Okemo’s Cutting Edge Learning Center. It’s the one-stop shop for any skiing or snowboarding instructional need. Okemo's teaching pros know how to get everyone in the family skiing and snowboarding in style – particularly the younger members of the family. The Learning Center’s unique and personal teaching approach is combined with the use of the latest in equipment technology. Okemo’s award-winning children’s programs accomplish two very important goals – they provide fun, exciting and valuable learning experiences for kids, and they allow parents to enjoy themselves, knowing that their children are being instructed and supervised by professionals. With two convenient locations offering the exact same programming, parents may establish their ski day hub at the Okemo’s Clock Tower base area or the Jackson Gore base area.   More >
