As registrations are received at the 1600 N 6th Street address an updated list of registered participants for the 2011 Ski For Youth Program will be periodically posted here. If your child is not on this list they won't be allowed to participate in the 2011 program. Pre-registration is required and ended November 30, 2011 no matter which Sunday(s) the youth intends on participating.

Ski For Youth is a learn-to-ski program presented by Friends of Spike Berg volunteer ski instructors and hosted by Granite Peak Ski Area. Sorry we do not teach snow boarding.

The History of Ski For Youth can be found here.
A Ski For Youth Flyer is available here.
A site map of the Granite Peak Ski Area can be found here.

1) Complete the “Ski For Youth 2011” registration form. Pre-registration is required and must be received in the mail at the address below by November 30, 2011. No Phone, Web, Fax or On-site registrations accepted. There is no fee for the ski lesson.

2) You must complete Granite Peak Parent’s Frequent Skier Agreement & Release of Liability for 2011-2012 and Granite Peak Ski Rental Agreement & Release of Liability 2011-2012 if you rent equipment. Be sure to review and complete for each child as needed. Do not mail. Take to ticket window AFTER checking in. Initial Lift Ticket and Ski Rental costs are $10 each, plus 5.5% sales tax and 3% enhancement fee. Lift ticket and rental cost are paid at Granite Peak ticket window. After attending one Ski For Youth lesson, subsequent lift ticket and rental is $5 each plus sales tax and enhancement fee. Save receipts as you may apply these costs to the purchase of a season pass for your child.

All youth must FIRST check-in each day of participation between 11:30 –12:30 in the lower level of the Historic Chalet – see site map. Youth needing ski rental should check-in at 11:30. After checking in go to Ticket Window to pay for lift ticket and rental equipment (if needed). Those needing equipment then go to Rental building. Make a note of the ID # of your equipment. Skis and poles are not permitted in any building other than Rental. You may wait in the chalet until called to ski trail at East end of the Historic Chalet (about 1 pm). Parents, after accompanying your child to the ski trail and they are assigned to an instructor, we ask you not to follow along as your presence is often a distraction. The lesson will last about one hour after which participants can use the remainder of the day to practice what they have been taught. Before leaving your child(ren) be sure to arrange a time and place to meet at the end of the day (we suggest the chalet and not the parking lot). Lifts stop at 4 pm. Return ski equipment to rental.
