Tolerance for Safety Violations: ZERO!
Safety Equipment: Helmets are mandatory for all Ski Club students, to be worn at all times on the slopes and, of course, regulation bindings. Additionally for snowboarders, wearing wrist guards and leashes are mandatory. No exceptions. This is mandated by the OPHEA safety standards.
Availability: . Ski helmets do not form part of the rental package. If your child needs a helmet, I strongly encourage you to purchase one. However, helmets are available for rental at the hill at an additional cost. Wrist guards cannot be rented.
Parental discipline: Emphasizing co-operation, clear boundaries and expectations with your child is tremendously helpful and supportive, contributing to an enjoyable experience for all.
Many thanks in advance for your continued support for this program. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions or comments. Now all we need is snow!
