What happens at check in once I’ve registered?

• At check-in, your child will meet one of our enthusiastic instructors who will ask you about your child’s snowboarding experience as well as any special needs or considerations.
  

Rest of the day

• After the check-in process, our instructors will further evaluate your child’s skiing ability so that they are placed in the most appropriate group.
  
• Lunch is served at Big Billies Restaurant and includes a daily menu that is nutritious and energy-packed!
