Shredder

My child took ski lessons from shredder this season and they have really helped his confidence on the slopes! This is a worthwhile investment in your child as they truly learn skills that make them great skiers!

These guys make skiing/​snowboarding fun for the little ones! Our daughter started off in the parent-​child session at age 2, and then progressed to group sessions with other little ones and without a parent. She loves it! She loves the staff, and she loves the skiing.
Because of these classes, she can go on the magic carpet at the ski resorts over and over again. She’s learned to put on her ski boots and carry her skis by herself. All this independence is because of Shredder.
I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to introduce skiing to a little one without having to deal with the whining and complaining about being cold or having to wear mittens because of the snow. It is so worth it to help the little ones develop a love for the sport!

These guys are amazing!!! Our 20 month old (yes, not even 2!) learned to ski. She can go down the whole slope on her own. As parents, we loved it and had a blast too. The instructors are so kind and make it all great fun. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Recently moved from Chicago and put my 2 and 4 year old in classes here. They love it and have learned so much. I appreciate the fact that parents are not allowed to stay and distract the kids as they learn but there are still open gym times available for parent to be involved. All week my kids ask when they can go back to ski school and I’ve already seen significant progress. Highly recommend.

These guys take care of 80% of the work for us parents. I thought they just taught the kids how to put on their equipment, do a ‘pie’ & ‘French fries’. I was good with just that! However, they teach them so much more. They have an awesome team learning how to go down hills while lifting their skis. They show them the stance for good posture. Kids learn to hike around obstacles and also to carry their gear! All I have to do is prepare her for blizzards and have hot cocoa ready.

I think Shredder is a great place to learn the fundamentals of skiing without dealing with all the winter elements with the little kiddos. My 5 year old did classes all last year, and he is skiing! He learned to make turns and be very confident on the mountain! I will be putting my 3 year old in classes in January. Go check them out!

My first impression when I heard about Shredder was, «No way. You do not ski inside…» Wow, was I way off. I have 2 kids in class there weekly — 3 and 5 years old. After day 1 of the class, I realized the true value of Shredder. I want my kids to love skiing and winter as much as I do, but know my ‘enthusiasm’ can be detrimental to that goal at times. They need to learn to love it themselves. Shredder enables the kids to learn the basics — learning the equipment, how to maneuver, how to get up from a fall, how to side step up, how to slide down and control your stop, etc. And they can do this in a controlled, comfortable environment. That is the key. Once they are comfortable with the basics, we get to introduce the clothes, cold and wind. It really is a no brainer when you stop and think about the value. Plus, it is SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive than on hill lessons.
To truly get the value described above though, you do need good people running the place. And Shredder does not disappoint. My girls LOVE going to class each week. The instructors are all extremely attentive, and want my girls to love skiing as much as I do. They are age appropriate, fun, skill level appropriate, and excited to be working with kids.
All in all, I cannot speak highly enough about the kids ski program at Shredder. I have no clue who the owners are, nor do I have any connection with the place — I am merely a very satisfied customer who felt compelled to share. Bring on the ski season!

Shredder is one of a kind. You can only find these kinds of things in a mountain state. We moved from sunny Los Angeles last year and wanted get our little 5 yr old on skis as fast as possible with very little pain. Not literal physical pain (well, that too), but the agony of learning how to walk in boots, click into skis, walk in skis etc. When I learned to ski as a child, I felt like that was half of skiing. And I even saw it on the bunny slopes this winter. kids crying on the ground in the snow from pure frustration of being new to the boots and bindings world. After one session at Shredder, my son picked up skiing very quickly and that’s what we wanted. The instructors are great and communicative. At the end they always inform us of what lessons they had and what they worked on. It’s rare to find this kind of communication from a kids gym and it’s SO important to the parents or at least the ones that I know.
Once we transferred him to the real slopes it took him several times to figure it all out. Then after two lessons, he’s skiing the green slopes like it’s his second home. We’ve been meaning to go back soon as it’s off season to keep him in ski shape. My son truly enjoyed Shredder.

This review is for the Bday party only (not the ski or snowboard sessions). My daughter had her 7^th bday party here and I can’t say enough good things about them. I had never been here but my daughter loves to ski and I thought this would be a good place to have her party. Brook was great, he was very friendly and professional. Max and Tim did a fantastic job during the party with the kids! They did different activities including air tracks, dodge ball and sledding on the slopes. I liked how they were very organized and went over all the safety rules with the kids. Max and Tim also did a great job with the kids during all the activities, taking time with them. I appreciate that. We’ll going to take our 7yr old and 3yr old for the indoor ski session. If you’re thinking of a new place to try have a bday party for your kids, I would highly recommend Shedders!!! Thanks Shredder’s! We’ll see you guys soon!

Shredder gym is a favorite for my two active little boys. The staff has always been super nice and accommodating. The activities are perfect for getting my boys prepared for ski season, and giving them an overall workout (i.e, wearing them out!) Shredder Boulder rocks!
