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.

Note: lessons are not mandatory, but always a good idea to improve your skills. You can go straight to the a stripe test unless you cannot stop and/or turn - in this case you can partice in the Adventure Learning Centre stations.

Have your own equipment? Then all you need is a lift pass so make sure to purchase the correct ticket. Everyone needs to wear a helmet. Helmet rentals are available for $6/helmet.

Rentals: skis and boots/ snowbards, helmets.

Poles are not part of the rentals. They are given once you pass the beginner test. 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 9 am - 3 pm. 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 pm 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 area outside the dining hall for us

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

Waiver forms

A waiver form must be submitted for each person. Once you register, the waiver form will be emailed to you (within 24-48 hours). It must be filled out and emailed back to Nadia Akhtar.

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.

Cancellation

We ski rain or shine. In the event that snow conditions are not deemed favourable by the resort, Ski Snow Valley will provide an alternative date. We pray for beautiful weather and ideal snow conditions.

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