Earl Bales Park — Skiing & Snowboarding

We enrolled our 9-year-old son in the Skiing & Snowboarding program at Earl Bales Park in Toronto, and he had a fantastic time. The instructors, particularly a coach named Mia, were attentive and really engaged with the kids, making sure everyone felt comfortable regardless of their skill level. My son learned how to navigate the slopes and even made a few friends along the way. Pickup was smooth, which was a relief after a long day out in the cold. However, we did experience some long lines during our first visit, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, I believe this program offers a solid mix of outdoor fun and skill-building for active kids. Just be prepared for a bit of wait time, especially on busy weekends. We’ll likely continue attending weekly.

We took our 12-year-old to the weekly skiing and snowboarding program at Earl Bales Park in Toronto. Overall, it was a solid experience. The staff, including our instructor Jamie, were really engaged with the kids and provided helpful tips. My son built confidence on the slopes and even made a friend in his small group. The outdoor setting is fantastic, and it was nice to see him active and enjoying the fresh air. However, we did encounter some long lines for the ski lift, which was a bit frustrating, especially on a busy Saturday. Still, I'd recommend this program for kids who are active and looking to improve their skiing or snowboarding skills. Just be prepared for a little waiting time!
