Know before you go!
Arrive Early
Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before your lesson (60 minutes if you need rental equipment). This gives you time to check in, grab your lift ticket, and pick up gear without feeling rushed.
Rental Equipment?
If you’re renting gear, arriving early is even more critical; lines can get busy, and we want you ready for the slopes when your class begins!
Dress Properly
Wear warm clothing, waterproof layers, a jacket, snow pants, gloves, and a helmet. Don’t forget goggles or sunglasses for eye protection.
Parking & Meeting Point
Park in the main lot and check in at the Snow School counter located in the ticket office.
Waivers
All participants must sign a program waiver before starting lessons.
Lift Tickets
If your program doesn’t include a lift ticket, purchase one before your lesson. Tickets must be worn on the outside of your clothing to access lifts.
