Ski School Programs for 09-10
Greetings from the Snowbowl Snowsports School!
Snowbowl Snowsports School’s goal is to help you have more fun on the snow. We have all sorts of lessons and programs, whether this is your first time on the snow or you just need a few tips.
When you are riding the Grizzly lift and you see some skiers or boarders blasting down the Grizzly Chute, chances are they started out in one of our Snow Sports School programs. Our kids programs are designed to teach kids of all abilities to have fun and be safe, while learning how to get down the slopes better. Three day Christmas Club starts on December 28 and the six-week programs will start January 9th and 10th (early registration deadline is Sunday, January 3rd).
Last season’s Orientation/Registration Days for our six-week Kid’s Programs was a great success and we will be repeating it this season on January 2nd and 3rd. If you’ve ever wondered what our Saturday and Sunday programs are all about, be sure to visit us the weekend before our Kid’s Programs begin. Meet the instructors, join a free mini-lesson, pre-register, save the late registration fee and avoid the first day crowds. Click on the Kids Six-Week Programs below for more details.
Our FWO (For Women Only) program is back for the 20th season and continues to provide outstanding and fun instruction for women of all abilities whether they alpine ski, telemark or snowboard. This season FWO will only be offered on Friday afternoons starting January 8th, but we are holding Sunday afternoons open for a special session if there is enough interest to put together a group(s). Stop by the Snowsports desk or call us to let us know your interests or questions. A Sunday session can be set up so it coincides with the Sunday Kid’s Program so you can all improve your skiing or riding skills at the same time.
We can also put together a special “customized” group for you. If you’ve been skiing for years and really don’t want to do the private lessons or group lesson “thing,” this just might be what you’re looking for. Grab some friends and pick something you want to work on such as improving your parallel turns or mastering crud in the bowls. One-day programs or multi-week programs are possible. Stop by the Snow Sports desk and we can talk about what you have in mind.
Don’t forget to register early before the early registration deadline (Sunday before the program starts-exact dates are on the other side) to save time and the late registration fee of $10.00. We will be putting the initial groups together before the first day so we can get out on the snow as soon as possible. Groups will be adjusted based on a skier’s ability and strength during the program.

Helmets
Helmets do provide significant protection. They dramatically reduce forces applied to the skull and the brain and thus reduce the potential for injuries. We encourage skiers to wear helmets. For more information about helmets, visit the National Ski Areas Association website www.lidsonkids.org . This site provides useful information on helmet sizing, research, articles and other useful information.
