The adult snow school and rental shop are located at the far end of the village below the Mountain shop and Fresh Tracks Café.
Rippin Rascals, the children's snow school and rentals is located across from the Mountain Shop and next to the Longshot Restaurant.
If you have reserved lessons, please know what time they start and aim to arrive at least 1 hour prior. This will ensure you or your kids do not miss their start time and that the rental or registration process will be as smooth as possible. If there is time left over you will be able to relax and enjoy a coffee or browse in the retail shop.
If your whole family will be taking lessons, please head to Rippin Rascals first to get the young ones sorted out. Once they are registered, our staff can get them ready for their day on the slopes. Once the kids have been dropped off, then proceed down to the adult snow school desk to get you own lessons/rentals sorted.
Please dress you or your kids appropriately. Remember, this is a winter sport. Dress in layers. We suggest a base layer of a moisture-wicking material. COTTON IS THE WORST. Do not layer socks for warmth, instead, invest in a good pair of THIN wool socks. A warm, water resistant or repellent layer is best for your outer layers. Jeans or sweats and hoodies DO NOT make for a fun day in the snow. Woolen gloves or mitts will get wet fast and your day will be short. Again, find a water resistant or repellant outer shell with a woolen liner. Keep you head warm, a toque (wool hat for all you out of country visitors) is best. A baseball hat is worst. Finally, eye protection is important. Goggles are best for wintry conditions, but sunglasses will do on warm spring days.
Sun screen is also important. You can and will burn just as easily on the ski hill as you will on the beach. Remember to keep sun screen in your jacket. If you leave it in your car it will freeze.
We rent skis, boots, boards, and poles. We do not have winter clothing for rent. Clothing can be purchased, however, in the Mountain Shop located above the rental shop. There you can also find accessories such as gloves, toques (hats), socks, and goggles.
