SCHOOL PRICING FOR 2008 SEASON

This is affordable education with tremendous benefits for kids!!!

1. Encouraging children to stay active leads to healthy lifestyles!!
2. With more activity comes less stress!!
3. It builds self-esteem and confidence through determination, attainable enhancement and realization of success!!.
4. Skiing and/or Snowboarding gives them a respectful amount of freedom and independence.
5. Provides them with skills that they use for many years (i.e. necessary motor skills {stopping and turning}, balance, appropriate decision-making {autonomy/responsibility}, etc.)
6. Enables them to interact socially outside of school with more comfort because they are with their friends in an exciting new/fun environment.
7. Challenges them to “listen, observe, and attempt”; allowing them to set and achieve goals.
8. Gives them a better appreciation for winter sports and overall adjustment to Canada’s chilly winter climate!
9. Gives them the opportunity to learn from positive role models who teach them motivation, respect, leadership qualities, effective communication etc. etc.     (just like all other teachers!).
10. It gives the children something to look forward to and provides them with many great memories!

I strongly believe these ski trips play a tremendous role in their overall learning experiences and provides them with many unforgettable CHERISHED MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I will remember my school ski trips for the rest of my life!!

Important Information

Tickets

• Student lift tickets will be sent out to your school one week prior to your visit.  All students must have lift tickets attached prior to their arrival.
• If your school visits multiple times, you will only have one ticket for all outings (unless of course student loss etc).

Arrival

• Students must remain on the bus until all important organization and safety procedures have been explained by the Skyloft Resort Inc. Snowschool staff.

Rentals

• Students renting will then proceed to our lower rental area for boots. Once boots are firmly fixed (all buckles attached), they then proceed to the appropriate ski or board rental area. 

Boots, Bags, Personal Stuff

• If renting, students' boots remain in the lower rental area
• All other personal stuff will be placed in appropriate areas; please remind students that Skyloft is not responsible for any items that they bring to the resort. All valuables should be left at home that day or kept on their person at all times when at Skyloft. The resort is NOT responsible for any missing personal effects.

 Assessment

• All students are assigned and assessed in the learning centre.
• Each student will be allocated a colour coded bib that identifies their skill level for the day.
• They will be allocated to classes based upon their ability.
• Classes are structured for all beginners and those who have never skied or boarded to begin lessons immediately upon touching the snow.
• Intermediate to Advanced students will be allowed in our fun village or chairlift slopes until their lesson times.

Clothing

Please advise all students to wear clothes that keep them warm!!                  
This is normal winter outdoor clothing - appropriate for the weather and temperature.

Using a layering concept:

1. Thin socks – but bring an extra pair as their feet may tend to sweat
2. Thermal long underwear- Top and Bottoms
3. Middle layer for insulating—like sweaters, sweatshirts, vest, pullovers.             As we want to keep the heat in and cold out
4. Outer layer – shell Jacket and pants. These should repel water from snow or rain and block the wind, while allowing perspiration to evaporate.
5. Hat, gloves and/or mits – remember not cotton but good outdoor mitts . Remember a lot of body warmth escapes from your head!!
6. Eyewear – students should bring sunglasses for those sunny days and goggles for those colder or snowy days
7. Always remember to pack extra clothing, socks, sweatshirt, mits.
