SUMMARY:Skiing & Boarding at Murray Ridge
DESCRIPTION:DEADLINE FOR SIGN UP: Wednesday Jan 7\, 2025 (for January 16th date) and Wednesday Jan 28\, 2025 (for Feb 6th date). \n\nAs in previous years\, the School Program is only for Grade 3 and up.  In the past I covered the K-2 lessons myself\, but I injured myself over the Christmas holidays\, and am not sure if I’ll be able to help much with the younger group this year. If you have K-2 students interested\, please use this link to sign up students younger than grade 3\, and adult participants.   https://forms.gle/QtdJ3yVLdCAvR2PRA I will get in touch directly with you if I can come up with a plan. \nFor Grade 3 and up\, there are not many changes from previous years.  Just please fill out one form per student. \nLessons are included with the school package.  The specific times are only posted on the morning of\, but the earliest ones start at 10am.  Please try to be at the hill between 9:30 and 10:00.  \nPAYMENT: In terms of payment\, please pay me at the hill\, and I will pay the ski hill in one chunk.  They prefer it that way.  If you are with TLA and wish to use your grant\, please connect with your teacher and make sure the amount is on your SLP.  I will then pay with the school credit card. \nIf you wish to pay with grant money from a different school\, the only realistic option is if you have a credit card and can pay directly.  Please only do this once you’ve let me know at the hill\, otherwise I may end up paying twice – and then it’s not quite as good a deal!! \nMEAL OPTIONS:  We have the option of getting a student meal.  The cost is $10 and the options are listed below. \n\nPARENTS AND SUPERVISORS:  We get a certain number of passes depending on the number of students who sign up.  I’ll do my best to spread these around so that every adult pass is a little cheaper.  Murray Ridge doesn’t offer and deals on rentals for supervisors.  As mentioned above\, use this form to sign up.
