Important Registration Information!

Children who do not hold a season pass should stop by the ski school desk prior to the start of the program to pick up their ID badge. If this is not possible, please check in at the ski school desk at least 30 minutes prior to line-up time. This is your child’s lift ticket for the lessons and MUST BE DISPLAYED AT ALL TIMES. There is a $10.00 charge to replace a lost badge.

Children are responsible for attending the DAY and TIME that they have selected. There are no "make-up" lessons or refunds!

In case of adverse weather, you may phone (413) 442-8316 ext. 16 to verify if classes are to be held. If a lesson is to be postponed, programs will continue until the lessons has been given.

Children should dress appropriately for the conditions! Suggestions for keeping warm are: layering articles of clothing (the outer layer should be waterproof), a hat, neck gaiter, goggles or sunglasses, woolen socks, and waterproof mittens or gloves.
