• In the event of cancelation, guests will be notified via our website under our daily operations report as well as via social media and email. Due to constantly changing weather forecasts, guests are encouraged to verify operations every morning prior to leaving for the resort.

REFUND POLICY

• All registration payments are non-refundable. Registrations cannot be transferred to another student.

REQUESTS
CLASS REQUESTS:  The success of our programs is built on creating groups of a similar age and ability.  These determinations are made by the Snowsports School Supervisors. Due to restrictions in space and social distancing, we will not be able to guarantee any special requests for lesson placements.

INSTRUCTOR CONSISTENCY
Snow Sports will attempt to ensure instructor consistency; however, we reserve the right to assign your lesson to an alternate instructor if:

• The instructor is not scheduled to work or calls in sick on the date of your reservation OR The instructor has previous commitments.

SCHEDULE

• All lessons will begin on their respective day starting with Tuesdays on January 2nd, 2024. Classes will be held once weekly for 5-consecutive weeks. The final week of classes is expected to be held the last week of January - the first week of February however, in the event of postponed classes, they can be delayed 1-3 additional weeks (or more). Due to weather delays being beyond our control, we will not issue any credits should students be unable to attend postponed classes.

TARDINESS POLICY
