Group Lesson Policy

IMPORTANT! Before booking an group/beginner lesson at The Summit Snowsports School please read our policy for important information about reservations, postponements, rescheduling fees, and more.

Important Information

• Rental equipment must be returned to the Rental Shop no later than 30 minutes from the time our lifts close. Please refer to your lift ticket for exact times.
• Students must be at least 13 years of age to participate in a Group Lesson.
• Students will progress at their own rates.

Check-In Requirements

• Summit West FIRST CLASS ONE DAY BEGINNER LESSON PACK and FIRST CLASS THREE DAY BEGINNER LESSON PACK - Students not checked in 30 minutes before the start of their lesson will forfeit their reservation without refund. We recommend you plan to arrive at least 1 hour prior to your lesson start time to check-in, fill out any necessary paperwork, and get fitted for equipment.
• Summit Central ONE DAY BEGINNER LESSON PACK and THREE DAY BEGINNER LESSON PACKS - Students not checked in 60 minutes before the start of their lesson will forfeit their reservation without refund. We recommend you plan to arrive at least 1.5 hours prior to your lesson start time to check-in, fill out any necessary paperwork, and get fitted for equipment.
• We do not guarantee you will get into a lesson if you check in late or miss your start time. Students that check in late will be placed on a first-come, first-served waitlist. We will make every attempt to get the student into the next lesson if space is available, at no extra charge. In the event we are not able to get the student into a later class the lesson becomes a forfeit without a refund.

To ensure you arrive on time, please plan your travel and parking time accordingly. Travel and parking time increases drastically on weekends and holidays. We recommend arriving at least 90 minutes prior to the start of your lesson.
