Jackrabbits Level 3 + 4 Program

The progression within the Jackrabbits program: Jackrabbits 3 & 4 are fun, skill-building programs for young skiers looking to learn more, play more, and expand into skate ski technique too. Jackrabbits 3 & 4 focus on developing agility, balance, coordination, and speed in a fun and social environment filled with games and adventures. Both programs include a fall dryland option providing fun games and movement-based activities.

Note: Our previous JR+ program is now integrated into JR 4, providing skiers with the opportunity to ski more often. JR 4 skiers will choose 2 weekday ski days; a Saturday add-on is also available.

  • 2026/2027 Fees

    We encourage families of all economic levels to participate in this awesome winter sport. If you have constraints for program or equipment costs, Foothills Nordic encourages families to seek support through KIDSPORT, a local program to help lower-income families with sport and activity program costs.

  • Foothills Nordic is able to run high quality programs for a reasonable cost due to the volunteer support from our families.  Based on the Club’s volunteer bond, ALL Jackrabbit parents will be required to volunteer six hours throughout the season.  Numerous volunteer opportunities will be available from coach support for Bunnies, Group Monitoring for Jackrabbits, parking or snow grooming support and support for weekend events (Terrain Nights, Family Ski Days and the Cookie Race).  A full sign-up list with details on volunteer jobs will be available and communicated before the first on-snow sessions.

    For information on the volunteer bond and the many other volunteer opportunities available throughout the year, see Club Volunteer Opportunities.

    We also welcome keen parents with strong basic ski skills to become coaches. Please note your interest when you register or contact the Jackrabbit Coach/Leader Coordinator.
