Snowsport and Safety Policies

Snowsport School Policies

These policies apply to all camps, programs and lessons where appropriate:

It is the registrant's responsibility to register by the published deadline. Registration deadlines are in place to ensure a quality program and will be enforced. Late fees will be assessed after the registration deadline.

Registrations received prior to the deadline will receive a $25.00 discount.

Camp and program prices will not be prorated for any reason. There will be no refunds or make-up lessons.

Consistency and continuity are important in group lessons. There will not be temporary substitutions allowed between different program sessions.

Please allow adequate time for registration and check-in. Please evaluate your child’s skiing or riding skills realistically. Hunt Hollow offers significant terrain challenges. If your child is unable to perform at his/her level, we reserve the right to move your child the appropriate level.

Temperature Policy: If the temperature is below 12 degrees, an evaluation to cancel lessons will be made 2 hours prior to the start of lessons or camp. The decision will be posted on the website.

Please allow adequate time for registration and check-in.
