Kirkwood Mountain Resort in the Sierra Tahoe region is joining a number of ski areas that are conducting programs focused on their senior skiers. Kirkwood says they have found their senior skiers and riders want to socialize with others, get the best value for their dollars, and ski confidently on uncrowded, safe slopes, similar findings to SeniorsSkiing.com’s reader surveys.
So, Kirkwood is starting a “Ski For Life” program where 50-plus season ticket holders can learn about the latest equipment, learn to ski or ride “smarter, not harder” and conserve energy, and get guidance on fitness and nutrition.
The program features a day with coaches and staff starting with a continental breakfast, stretching and small group ski clinics organized by skill level. And, apres-ski social time. The resort is starting with a free test program for all seniors on April 14.
SeniorsSkiing.com salutes Kirkwood for considering this program. Actually, Kirkwood is joining Jack Frost Ski Area, PA, Dodge Ridge, CA, Waterville Valley Resort, NH, and a few others who are specifically focusing on making the outdoor winter experience more rewarding and interesting for its seniors. Thanks, Kirkwood. Other ski areas, are you listening?
