**  The equipment rental fee is a one-time fee payable at registration and includes the rental of a full ski package (skis, boots, poles) for all lessons / sessions.  Rentals can be picked up 15 minutes prior to lesson and are to be returned immediately following lesson.  Rentals required for use at any sessions scheduled for alternate locations will be coordinated for pick-up / return.

 Weather cancellations: All sessions take place on Saturday mornings and are weather permitting. If the weather is unsuitable on a Saturday, the session will be made-up at the end of the program.  Please note in the even of a cancellation, make-up days will continue on March 19/10 and March 26/10. The parent/guardian listed on the registration form will be notified one hour prior to session in case of cancellation.  Weather cancellations are at the discretion of the instructor in accordance with the daily forecasts and conditions (cold temps, wind, etc.).  Please ensure that you provide an email at registration! Cancellation notices will be sent out via email and the chalet attendant will be notified (you can call 686-5515 to confirm if lessons are on).

 Special Events Schedule

 A schedule for any session “themes” will be forwarded to all once registration numbers have been confirmed.  Some possible ideas right now include a family ski & fire, snowshoe day, race day and JackRabbit Mini-Olympics.

 Dress for the Weather

Please ensure your child is warmly dressed. A snowsuit is appropriate for most ages. Mittens are better than gloves (especially for the younger children). Feet in particular are problem areas: please wear a heavy sock and avoid cotton (synthetic or wool blends are best). Your child may want to bring a drink to have during the lesson. If so, please use a reusable container, clearly marked with name (ie. water bottle) that can be left outside.  Snacks will be provided at the end of each lesson.  NOTE:  Please notify instructor if allergies / other medical conditions are a concern.

Equipment

 For the BunnyRabbit group (new skiers), an intro type ski is suitable.  These skis are slightly wider and easier to balance on than traditional x-country skis.  They are available at Canadian Tire ($30 for skis/poles set).  With these types of skis, typical winter boots are worn using strap bindings.

For the JackRabbit group, a classic style ski is appropriate. Wax-less skis are the most versatile for young skiers, allowing them to ski in all snow conditions and in both styles (classic and skate).  Boot sizing is as important, if not more important, than skis.  Well-fit boots keep feet warmer and more comfortable.  Please ask for more info on ski / boot types and sizing.

Other Notes:

           

-          Program booklets and participant frisbees will be distributed as soon as they arrive

-          Badges, award stickers, etc. will be passed out at the end of the season.
