Never skied or snowboarded? Here’s what to do before your first Friday.

Before your first club night

What to wear and bring

Your first night

  1. Arrive after 3 pm (you’ll tell us when, in the weekly sign-up) and find the club table in the lounge. Look for our sign with the club logo.
  2. Pick up your lift ticket and hand in your signed affidavit, plus the rental disclaimer if you’re renting.
  3. If you rented, collect your equipment at the rental shop.
  4. Head to the green flag for your first lesson at 5:00 or 6:00 pm, with your lesson ticket ready for the instructor.
  5. You won’t earn a patch on your first night. Until you do, stay where your instructor shows you; signs at each lift show which patch you need.
  6. Check your gear into the free corral when you take a break.
