Lessons

New! Husky Cub Club

This is a new 3-week group lesson program option for kids ages 3-6 who are first time skiers or snowboarders. We have found that younger children often have trouble skiing or boarding for a full 2.5 hours, so Husky Cub Club lessons are only 2 hours long - still plenty of time for fun and learning without being too tiring!
(Note: This program is entirely optional - even if the student fits this profile, he or she is still eligible for our 2.5 hour lessons)

• Husky Cub Club (3 weeks, 2hr lessons): $95

Lift Tickets

You will need a lift ticket during every lesson, and you will typically buy these at the mountain. While lift tickets are not included in your registration fee, you can buy discounted beginner lift tickets at Snoqualmie Pass. First-time snowboarders do not need a lift ticket for their first lesson.

Location

We teach at the Summit-at-Snoqualmie’s ‘Summit Central’. To reach us, use Exit 53 from I-90. Meet at Ullr Snow Sports Meeting Area, next to the Central main lodge by the Triple 60 lift.

Postponements and Make-up Sessions:

Should HWS ever need to cancel or change our program dates, we will notify you immediately by email and schedule a make-up session. If we do not complete the entire program by March 13, 2011, we will gladly refund your pro-rated registration fee.

Withdrawals and Refunds

Each lesson, whether small-class, family, or private, is specially designed to meet the needs of our students. Unenrolling from a lesson causes significant disruption to our lesson plans. Therefore, all lesson fees include a 50% non-refundable administrative deposit. We are happy to reschedule your lesson dates if an unexpected conflict arises. Husky Winter Sports does not offer refunds or make-up sessions for missed lessons, except for the following two reasons:

• Medical: If you incur an injury that prevents you from skiing/snowboarding, notify the HWS office in writing or by e-mail at least three days before the lesson. You may receive a pro-rated refund.
• Weather: Classes are subject to change and cancellation due to adverse weather conditions. If this occurs, a make-up session will be provided.
