The weekly learn-to-ski program is available without charge to the sons and daughters of resort employees, and at a nominal charge for those from elsewhere in the North Thompson Valley. Two weeks ago about  dozen from Simpcw First Nation took part. The kids program is now over but an Easter camp is coming up.
