□ Skis, boards and bindings must be safety checked by a professional as children’s height and weight change each year. Please bring your equipment to them early to avoid the last minute rush!
□ Students will be given their passes before the first Sunday lesson. Students must have their ski passes with them. Because Stowe Mountain Resort will not be issuing any substitute passes, you child will have to sit in the lodge if s/he forgets his/her pass. Try having your child put his/her pass in his/her ski boot when getting undressed from skiing; then it will be easily remembered when gearing up for the next week.
□ Students like to take a break in the lodge; we encourage children to bring a snack from home. If you prefer to send money, please limit the amount to $5.00.
□ Be sure your child always wears a helmet (or hat), neck warmer and gloves or mittens. It is always cold on the mountain- and colder than it is in Morrisville!
□ Beginning skiers generally don’t use poles the first season. It is easiest if they are just left at home until your child’s instructor requests that students bring them in.
□ If your child will be absent on any Sunday, please call your child’s instructor. Regular attendance at lessons is important, especially for beginners; students progress quickly and it is a challenge to accommodate individuals who have missed multiple lessons when others are ready to board the lift and ski more challenging terrain.
