Hey Kids!
We love kids...and they love snow! We say, "Get 'em out there!" The Wildhorse is your kid's one-stop shop for winter fun. Tamarack Children's Sports School offers one of the most comprehensive and fun learning environments in the Northwest for skiing and snowboarding with highly qualified (and fun!) instructors and awesome terrain, including Idaho’s first Superpipe and the No Business Terrain Park.
Kids Group Lessons meet at the Wildhorse; located at the base of the Mutton Buster Magic Carpet and next to the base of the Discovery Chair; and accessing beginner terrain. The Wildhorse also has youth rental equipment.
