Frequently Asked Questions
These are some questions we get a lot in the office. Click any question below for more info.
Can I get credit for my trip if I cancel by the deadline?
Absolutely!
We will never charge you a trip fee if you don't attend an event. All of our charges are processed on the Monday after the trip. So, we only charge those who actually attended the trip. If you make a reservation, do not cancel by the Thursday 8pm deadline, and do not attend, you be charged a nominal No-Show Fee.*
*Other policies may apply for special events.
Does Blizzard offer scholarships?
Blizzard Ski & Snowboard School is committed to socioeconomic diversity in our programs and to making skiing and snowboarding financially accessible to all families. To achieve this vision, we have established the
Blizzard Family Assistance Fund to assist families who might not otherwise be able to afford to ski or snowboard with Blizzard. The program is funded by donations from members, staff, and Blizzard itself.

What should I bring each week?
Blizzard members are required to have their own equipment: skis/poles or snowboard and boots. Helmets and goggles are highly recommended, as are snowpants, two pair of insulated mittens, and layers, layers, layers!
For food, we recommend a hearty lunch, several snacks and a non-caffine beverage (water or sports drink). If members prefer to buy food at the area, we recommend about $10- $20 which is typically enough for lunch, drink and one snack.
