Reservations
are required and are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
We suggest calling two to four weeks in advance to reserve the dates
you desire.
Payments
and Cancellations
We require full payment in advance to guarantee your reservation.
Payments are non-refundable. When you make your reservation,
consider the possibility that the mountains may receive heavy snowfall
the day you plan to ski and chains may be required on the roads you
are traveling. If notice of cancellation is received by 12-noon
the day before your lesson, a credit will be issued which can be used
towards another lesson. Cancellations made after 12-noon the
day before your lesson will not receive a refund or credit.
Special Winter Considerations
When making reservations for ski and snowboard lessons, remember the
mountains may receive heavy snowfall the day of your lesson. The fact
that it is snowing or chains are required does not warrant a credit
or refund for a canceled lesson. Contact us for more information about
our programs. Ph: 530-581-4161
