Dear Parents,
Please read through this entire document. Almost all questions you might have should be answered below. You can refer back to this document as needed. We sincerely appreciate your support by signing your child up for our school ski club. Our ski clubs are a long standing tradition at Nordic that we value very highly. Our goal as a ski hill is to provide an affordable way to introduce your kids to what could be a life changing hobby. We could not make this happen without the effort from you as well as your club advisors. Please show them some love. Please do not contact Nordic Mountain with questions. ALL questions should go through your advisor.

Some additional info about Nordic Mountain
Lessons
Never been skiing or snowboarding before? We offer lessons at NO COST to anyone who’s interested! We will have instructors stationed in our beginner area. There, students will find different shapes and features built into the snow to train them how to ski. This process allows the intuitive learners to move on without being held back by some folks that need a bit more explanation. You can see more by watching these videos, https://nordicmountain.com/terrain-based-learning
Food and Bev options
Students will have access to our cafe area throughout their entire night. To give you an idea of how much money to send them with, a chicken tender combo which includes tenders, fries, and a drink is priced at $11 Our cafe has a wide variety of fried foods, personal pizzas, candy, and sweet treats. There is a gluten free cauliflower crust pizza option as well. You are welcome to send your student with their own food to have in the car or in the yurt. We ask that students stay out of our Pub unless they are seeking their advisor or a different chaperone or enjoying a meal with their parents.
What to bring and what to wear
Please be sure your student is well prepared for the weather. For maximum comfort in their ski boots, each student should have only one pair of socks pulled up tight above their calf inside their boots. Any pants or other layers should be pulled up and pulled over the outside of the boot. For this reason, tight leggings do not always make the best base layers. Waterproof gloves are a MUST. Please be sure your student has gloves, as silly as it sounds, we get kids out on the snow without gloves far too often. Layers are king when it comes to temperature control. Send them with layers they can shed if needed. The outer layer should be as waterproof as possible. Face and neck protection is also important. Ski goggles and a neck gaiter of some kind will do the trick. Other items that can come in handy are; lip balm, hand warmers, cash for the cafe, backup gloves, and extra socks for the bus ride home.
Rental Space
There will be space for students to put on their warm clothes. If a student does NOT need rentals, the red yurt outside is the best place to have as home base. It is heated and not as congested. Please leave all equipment outside. If students are renting, students can keep their possessions in a paid locker or just in a cubby. Nordic Mountain can not take responsibility for any missing items. Please be respectful of this communal space.
Lost and Found
If there are any lost items, there is only one way to get them back. You must go to https://nordicmountain.com/lost-and-found and fill out the form. Once the item is located, you will be contacted by our staff. DO NOT CALL about your lost items. Please follow the procedure and we will do our best to keep our lost and found organized.
Missed Trips
Group tickets can not be transferred to different students or to different nights of the week. There are only two reasons Nordic will credit a student who misses ski club, injury or illness. If a student misses school with illness on the day of a ski club trip, they can be credited with a gift card. If you are seeking a credit for a missed trip, you must report that to your advisor. Advisors will keep a list of credits and those gift cards will be created on the night of the school's last trip. If a student has purchased a rental and then acquires gear, no longer needing the rental, a refund can be orchestrated. Please contact your advisor ASAP if this happens.
Hopefully any other questions you may have can be answered by your advisor, ski you soon!
