What does the membership fee cover?
The Membership Fee, also called a Program Fee or Registration Fee, is paid once each season when you enroll in one of Blizzard's programs.
The program fee includes:
- Access to all trips and lift tickets at a discounted rate
- Instruction -- up to 4.5 hours each week!
- Individual skill assessments
- Color level and program-specific zipper pulls and pins
- ID stickers for skis, snowboards, boots, poles, helmets -- you name it
- Annual Blizzard calendar
- Blizzard newsletter
- Optional Bonus Trips
- Special events like Parent Day, Picture Day and Picnic Day
- End-of-the-season Fun Day (obstacle courses, races, fun games and contests)
- Great discounts at affiliated ski & snowboard shops including Hoigaard's
Some programs offer lower student/teacher ratios, more instruction, or require special equipment (such as our race program). Because of higher costs to deliver these programs, Blizzard charges higher fees for them.
