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?
Does Blizzard offer scholarships?
How do I invite a guest?
If I drive, where do I get my lift ticket?
If you plan to drive, be sure you notify the Blizzard office by the Thursday 8pm deadline so we can have a discounted lift ticket waiting for you. When you arrive at the area, come into the chalet and find the Blizzard Table to receive your lift ticket. Just look for the banner and a crowd of kids!
What does the membership fee cover?
If my child gets sick, can I get a refund?
If you have extenuating circumstances such as a sick child, please call or email the office as soon as possible, even if it is after the reservation deadline. We would rather have your child recuperating at home than having a miserable day on the hill -- and sharing their germs with everyone else on the bus.
Remember, we only charge you a Trip Fee if you attend an event. If you make a reservation, are unable to attend, and did not cancel before the reservation deadline, you will be charged a No-Show Fee. Exceptions may be made for sudden illnesses or family emergencies if you contact the office. Your call on Friday or Saturday will be appreciated so we can let our staff know!

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.
