Covid-19 Protocol
Proof of vaccination is required for all participants in snow school lessons and programs ages 12 and up.
All lesson participants will be required to wear a mask/face covering at all times during their lessons. We will ask people waiting for their lesson to please maintain social distance until the lesson supervisor has checked them in and paired them up with their instructor(s). Social distancing will be required at all times during lessons, and if instructors need to assist a student personal protective equipment must be worn. Groups will be kept smaller in size and whenever possible group membership should be kept inside your social bubble.
