Ski Pass Information
Passes: All skiers must have a pass on at all times while skiing. If caught without a pass or lift ticket you are taken into the office and police are called to fill out a report and you will be banned from the area for a year. Each year team members attend a meeting to discuss area policies and skier code the first week we are on site. We will go over procedures of forgotten or lost passes at this meeting. If there is a question, ask before going skiing.
Lockers
At the ski area racers can rent a locker for the season where they can leave skis and poles at the ski area between practices. Hunt Transportation does not allow skis and poles on the morning buses to school. They do allow skis and poles on the buses to practice and meets.
At the middle school they do have a location for the kids to lock up their stuff during the day as they do at the high school. The School and ski area are not responsible for lost or stolen equipment. The locker or ski corral is a great way to keep your skis and poles from being stolen. Lockers sell out quickly so call or log on to the Wild Mountain web site and rent one for the year.
