A unique indoor ski & snowboard experience
We are a family who loves snow sports. Like other parents, ours patiently helped us from the beginning, waiting while we made our way slowly down the kiddie hill. But our trips to the slopes became a lot more fun when we could all ski and snowboard together.
Indoor Snowboarding and Indoor Skiing for Family Fun
We want you to make the most of your family’s time on the mountain. Shredder’s year-round indoor skiing and indoor snowboarding arenas are perfect for families who love the indoor ski hills like we do. Kids of all ages can develop their ski and snowboard skills in a comfortable, social, and safe environment.
– Kids develop strength, agility, athleticism – and enjoyment of snow sports.
– Qualified instructors emphasize safety on and off the mountain.
– Professionally-designed curriculum teaches age-appropriate fundamentals and techniques.
– Everyone has fun on our welcoming dry indoor ski slopes.
Families can spend more time skiing and snowboarding together when kids have a strong foundation. Shredder can help your kids get comfortable on the slopes, whether they prefer skiing or snowboarding.
KIDS SNOWBOARDING AND SKI LESSONS FOR EVERYONE
Shredder is a Colorado-owned, independent company focused on families and community engagement. We want to expand options for kids and adults to learn and share snow sports by addressing common concerns: time, distance, and cost.
Shredder’s innovative curriculum and unique “snow” experience helps kids start and stick with skiing and snowboarding because we make it accessible, affordable, and fun!
Our Mission
“Developing Confident and Knowledgeable Skiers and Snowboarders in a Fun and Safe Environment”
Our Vision
“Breaking the mold and redefining the way snow sports are taught while expanding our instruction philosophy throughout the industry.”
Our Instruction Philosophy
Built around industry-leading PSIA-AASI principles, Shredder’s philosophy is to guide participants through skill progressions. This builds confidence, knowledge, and proficiency. Our indoor skiing and indoor snowboarding facilities feature various stations that emphasize techniques and develop strength, agility, and athleticism to enjoy the sport independently.
The Shredder Experience
There’s a lot more to skiing and snowboarding than just heading down a hill. Especially with younger children, approximately 90% of your time as a parent is spent between leaving your house and reaching the top of the hill – and you haven’t even gone down the hill yet!
Shredder’s kids snowboard and ski programs are designed to maximize the entire ski and snowboard experience for every member of your family.
Our Core Values
SAFETY
Safety is paramount in snow sports and should be every athlete’s number one focus. At Shredder, safety is our NUMBER 1 PRIORITY!
FUN
Skiing and snowboarding are meant to be enjoyable activities. We arrange our learning environment so students want to be at Shredder. No young skier or snowboarder should ever leave Shredder without a smile on their face!
DEVELOPMENT
Shredder students grow into lifelong skiers and snowboarders. Our curriculum is based on PSIA/AASI foundations. It encourages ongoing skill development and allows students to progress faster on the mountains.
EQUALITY
On the surface, skiing and snowboarding can appear to be exclusive sports. For these snow sports to grow, it is critical that we break down those barriers. We believe in creating a safe space to learn, no matter your gender identity, race, origin, age, ability, socioeconomic class, or religion. We strive to create the most inclusive learning space possible for staff and students.
