Mini Shredders

The perfect first step into the Whakapapa programme pathway.

Designed especially for our youngest skiers, Mini Shredders is all about building confidence, learning great habits, and having fun on snow with a small crew of new friends.

With coaching spread across alternating weekends, children have time to rest, reset, and come back ready to keep progressing. Sessions focus on developing strong foundations in a safe, supportive, and playful environment led by instructors experienced in working with young learners.

From first-time snow visitors to young skiers already making their first turns, every child is supported at their own pace while building a lifelong love for the mountain.

This programme is designed as a natural progression pathway into our Academy and High Performance programmes.
