FAQ:

1.
 Does my racer have to ski all three days?  No, they will only be charged for how many days they want training.
2. Does my racer have to stay the night? No, if you would like to transport your racer to and from Mt. Hood each day, that is fine.  
3. Is Lunch Provided? No, please pack a lunch or bring money for lunch.
4. What's the deal with Lift Tickets? If you don't have a season pass or fusion pass, please bring cash so you can purchase your own lift ticket each morning.  ($39 per day at ski bowl)
5.
Helmets required?  Absolutely YES!
6. Although we meet at the ski bowl west lodge (basement of main lodge near the ticket/skier services booth) each morning, we are most likely setting our courses and training on the east side (Multorpor side).  Why do we do this?  The owners of ski bowl prefer that we set our training courses on the Cascade and Multorpor chairlifts which are on the east side of the ski area.  BUT, the lift ticket booth is not open at the Ski Bowl East/Multorpor Lodge early in the morning, so we need to start out on at the West lodge each day where they are open for lift ticket sales.  We know it's not ideal logistically, but it's out of our control.

Testimonial from our high school camps:

Robin, Sean,
Thanks so much for providing instruction for our son, Lito, and all the other kids this week.  It was a thrill to see them all up there.  The pace of learning was truly amazing, like watching a plant grow before your eyes.  See you at the races! 

Bill Nicolai
