Cannon Mountain's Junior Development Program is designed for kids ages 3–14 who want to ski with the same coach and kids all season long. Groups will be split up by age and ability level. The program caters to a wide variety of abilities from first-timers who just want to cruise down groomers, to more experienced riders who want to learn to zip through moguls or explore the glades. Participants can choose to sign up for Saturday programs, Sunday programs, or both.

Each session focuses on technique, personal goals, and exploring the best of Cannon's legendary terrain - from groomers to glades.
