Shredder Showcase — Try Kids Ski & Snowboard

One visit. No season to commit to.The Shredder Showcase
Try it before you buy it.

A Showcase is the short version. One 40-minute visit, real instruction, all the gear — so you find out whether your kid loves this before anyone signs up for a season of it.

Illustration: the Shredder yeti skiing down a snowy slope alongside two small yetis, one on skis and one on a snowboard.

Forty minutes, real instruction, all the gear. This is the room it happens in.

What actually happens

Forty minutes.
That’s the whole ask.

You show up with nothing. No gear, no experience, nothing to bring — we size your child for boots and skis or a board when you walk in, and it’s all included.

Then a Shredder coach takes a small group through the very first steps: boots on, learning the gear, a first straight glide. Indoors, on our slope, at their pace.

A Showcase is an introduction, not a shortened course. Real progression — the part where a child builds skills that carry to the mountain — happens across a full session. This is how you find out whether they want that.

Some kids come off the slope asking when they can come back. Some need another go. Either answer is worth knowing before you book a season.

Forty minutes to find out.
Then you decide.
Before you book

Questions parents ask

How old does my child need to be?▾
Showcase groups run by age and differ by location — check the schedule for your location above. Across the network we train children from age one through the early teens.
Do we need to bring skis, boots or a helmet?▾
No. Everything your child wears and rides is included and fitted when you arrive. Dress them in comfortable clothes and long socks — that’s it.
My child has never been on snow. Is that a problem?▾
That’s who the Showcase is for. Coaches assume no experience and start at standing up. A child who has skied before will still enjoy it, but they’ll get more out of a full session.
What happens after the Showcase?▾
Nothing automatically — there’s no enrollment attached to it. If your child wants more, every location runs full sessions through the year, and the coach can tell you which one fits.
Can I book more than one Showcase?▾
Yes, if there are spots. Groups are small on purpose, so popular times go first — booking ahead is the only way to hold one.
What if my location isn’t listed?▾
Then it isn’t running one right now. Showcases are scheduled locally, usually just before a session starts. Your location’s page always shows what’s open there.

Worth forty minutes
to find out.

Pick a location, pick a time, and let your kid tell you the rest.
