Welcome to Snowhawks ~Established 1984~

Since 1984 in Toronto and 1987 in Ottawa, Snowhawks Ski & Snowboard School
has developed a reputation for quality, safety and fun.

Add to this a super group of qualified instructors, our very own chaperons, a variety of the best mountains, a special atmosphere and you have the reasons why our members return year after year.

We offer a range of programs for youngsters, teenagers and adults which include:

  • Instruction in the Snowhawks Ski & Snowboard School (full-day, half-day & no-lesson options)
  • All lift tickets (discounts for members using their own passes)
  • Return travel from resort area via motor coach
  • Special event days… races, "Big Air,” turning derby, end of season parties & much more…
  • End of season Student Evaluation Report (for Saturday & Sunday youth programs)
  • Member benefits, including discounts at Kunstadt Sports
 

Our personalized attention to each member’s progress & our stress on supervision
are what parents appreciate most about the Snowhawks children and teen programs.

Of course, kids love having fun, so at Snowhawks we ensure that all are treated to a great deal of it!

Our Wednesday adult group has come to appreciate the combination of excellent instruction and an ambiance which only Snowhawks offers.

We invite you to read on about our Mid-Winter & Spring Break youth programs as well as our Adult Getaways, Destination trips and Single-day Recreational programs. As Directors, we look forward to meeting all new Snowhawks members at our promotional events this fall, and also on snow!

And Heather Siderson, an accredited Level II CSIA, Level I CASI, and has a B.A. from NYU and a B.Ed. from Queen’s and an Ontario Teacher's Certificate.

“As parents of our own Snowhawkers, we certainly love watching our kids improve their skills. Equally rewarding is seeing the camaraderie and independence which develops over the course of the season. Making new friends, conquering a new hill, learning a better way to turn and listening to their never-ending stories… that’s what we enjoy in our kids’ Snowhawks Raven experience and we know you’ll enjoy in yours.”
