Don't Be Late
Please drop off your child promptly at their on-snow location, fully dressed including boots, and ready to shred. Late drop-offs are difficult to accommodate, and may need to wait until lunch to connect with their group.
Who's ready for a three-day weekend? Coaches are stoked to ski and ride with your child for an extra day. It's a great opportunity to explore the mountain and learn something new.

Tips for Success
Check these tips to make the most of the season.
Dress For Success
New England weather is changeable, and it's good to be prepared. Groups go out in all weather. Please check the forecast.
- Helmet & Goggles: Not required, but highly recommended
- Jacket & Snow Pants: Waterproof/water-resistant outerwear is key to comfort.
- Long Underwear, Socks & Layers: Best to have extras on hand
- Mittens, Gloves, Neck Warmers: It's personal preference, but most people find mittens to be warmer. Don't forget a neck warmer.
In the Bag
It's always a good idea to pack extra items in your child's bag. Having these items handy when needed goes a long way to your child being comfortable in their sessions. Leave the bag with your child's coach, who will make it easily available. Please keep these things in your child's bag:
- Hand and toe warmers
- Extra gloves or mittens
- Extra neck warmers or balaclavas
- Extra layers
- Extra socks
- Extra undergarments and outerwear for youngsters
