Who can ski or snowboard:

Everyone can ski or snowboard with the school program, which means parents and children over 6+.You will receive a lift pass, rentals and lessons. You can choose one activity, either skiing or snowboarding.

Have your own equipment? Then all you need is a lift pass so make sure to purchase the correct ticket. You will not be able to use the chalet to put on your gear. Bring a lawn chair if need be to put on your gear outside.

Rentals: skis and boots/ snowboards, helmets and poles

Helmets are a must which they fit you for and have available. No bike helmets.( Hats with pom poms will not fit under  helmets)

Children 5 and under: 

Children 5 and under will be able to ski or snowboard but will not be able to participate in school lessons. A pass for under 5 must be purchased separately online.

Beginners

If you are a beginner skiier/ snowboarder, lessons will be provided from 9am-3pm. There will be 5 stations that you will make your way through where you will be taught beginner skills. Once the instructors feel that you are ready for the bigger hills they will take you up the chairlift and test you there to see if you can turn and stop. Once you have passed you will be given another sticker where you are free to use the chairlift and other green hills. There are three magic carpet hills.  ( Beginner level hills)

Intermediate

Already know how to ski but are under 17? An instructor will test you right away to give you your sticker. You will also have a chance to take intermediate ski lessons at 12:30 where you have a chance to get to the next level to try the more advanced hills.

Arriving on time

To take full advantage of the day, we need to arrive as a group at 8:30 am. Depending on how big our group is, it will take us an hour to get our equipment and get on the hill. Please plan your morning ahead of time so that you can make it at 8:30 am sharp. It will not be fair to keep the rest of the group waiting. Please check how far Snow Valley is from your house. It will definitely be an early start to the day but inshallah it will be worth it!

Chalet Access

We will have an indoor area outside the dining hall for us to relax when no skiing!

Masks

Masks need to be worn inside the chalet and when using the restrooms.

When approaching an instructor or any employees outside, please wear your mask. If you are unable to wear a mask for whatever reason, Ski Valley has stated that they are unable to accommodate this at this time. Your neck warmer can be used as a mask etc ...

Can father's, family members, non tmh members etc attend?

All family members welcome!

Non TMH member families that would like to come can email me at finance@tmh.ca and I will then let them know how to pay.

Waiver forms

I will need to submit a waiver form for each person. Once you register, I will email you the waiver form that you will fill out and send back to me so that I can print it and have it ready for the morning of. It will be very difficult to collect waiver forms on the morning of so please make sure all waivers are emailed to me at finance@tmh.ca

Safety and Security

Please follow all rules. If you are under 17 and without an adult you can not go on the hills without the correct sticker. If you are caught doing so then you will be removed from the hill.

18+ are allowed on all hills and are responsible for their own choices.

There are ski patrollers on the hills making sure everyone is being safe and looking out for us.

Cancellation

We ski rain or shine. We pray for beautiful weather on March 3rd and ideal skiing conditions Ameen.  Ski Valley never cancels their skiing. They cancelled once in the last 5 years according to the Ski Valley Coordinator.

Overnight accommodation

There are hotels in this area and in Barrie. It's possible to book on Tuesday night so you are not rushed in the morning etc. The choice is yours and booking is your responsibility. Just an option.

Volunteers

I would welcome help on the morning of from any parent that is coming but not skiing especially in the rental shop.
