Children's Seasonal Programs (Dev Teams)

We have only a handful of Dev Teams still available at this time. Please call 603-737-4388 to check availability.

This is where fun and learning come together to build a lifelong passion for skiing and riding.

Enroll your child (4-14) in one of Gunstock's Development Teams, where they will ski or snowboard with similar ages and abilities every week! We do reserve the right to combine groups when needed.

Development team members will not only develop new skills, they will also form new and lasting friendships with their teammates as they master the mountain together step by step. Sessions begin the first weekend in January and run for 8 continuous weeks excluding MLK and President's Week.
