Mountain Division is a 7-week ski development program for children ages 6-13 who love to ski and are ready to continue building their all-mountain skills in a fun, supportive environment.
Participants are grouped with skiers of similar age and ability, creating a team atmosphere where friendships grow alongside skiing skills. Whether they are refining technique or exploring more challenging terrain, Mountain Division helps young skiers become stronger, more confident all-around skiers. Groups average 7-8 participants and are led by the same experienced coach throughout the season.
The program concludes with a Mountain Division Skills Festival, where participants have the opportunity to showcase the skills they have developed throughout the season.
For skiers who are primarily interested in racing and spending time in race courses, we encourage exploring our DSquad or Interclub programs.

CHAIR LIFT ROOKIE TRAINING
At Mohawk Mountain, we take chairlift safety very seriously.
All new Mountain Division participants must successfully complete Chairlift Rookie Training prior to the start of the program. During this complimentary 30-minute session, a Snowsports Professional will ensure your child can safely use the Deer Run (Pine) and/or Mohawk Chair independently, including loading, unloading, and lowering the safety bar without assistance.
To schedule your child’s Chairlift Rookie Training session, please call the Snowsports Discovery Center at (860) 672-6100 ext. 136.
Completion of Chairlift Rookie Training is required before the first day of Mountain Division. Participants who have not completed the training will not be permitted to participate in the program. If you are unable to commit to completing Chairlift Rookie Training before the program begins, please do not register your child for Mountain Division.
