Payment information

Busy family lives mean we’re all looking for affordable prices and flexibility. Blizzard offers a unique pricing structure which provides families with the most flexible, economical option for a full season of snowsports fun!

Program Fee

All members pay a Program Fee to join Blizzard. This fee covers your instruction for the entire season, all membership materials, access to all our trips at discounted lift ticket rates, participation in special events including Picnic Day, Fun Day and Bonus Trips, and discounts at participating retail partners. Fees vary by program due to student/instructor ratios, special equipment (for example, race supplies), and other factors. Program Fees for School’s Out Trips and ProTrack Instructor Development include only the benefits described on the respective program information pages.

Payment is due at time of registration. If Program Fees are not paid within 30 days, your registration may be cancelled. See our cancellation policy for more details.

Trip Fee

For each trip during the season, you will be contacted to make a reservation. If you attend the trip, you pay a Trip Fee of about $105*, which covers round-trip bus transportation, supervision and lift ticket. We always run charges after the trip, so we only charge those who actually attend. If you don’t make a reservation for the trip for any reason, you don’t pay! It’s the best pay-as-you-go system there is — you only pay for the bus and lift ticket when you use them.

* Trip Fees vary based on lift ticket prices and bus costs. Trip Fees may change at any time for reasons beyond Blizzard’s control, such as fuel or other bus-related costs or changes in lift ticket prices.

Unplanned Incidental Expenses

It is occasionally necessary to cover unplanned incidental expenses for members at events. These include, for example, missing outerwear such as mittens, goggles, or snow pants, forgotten lunches, equipment rentals due to a broken binding, etc. When your child attends an event, you pre-authorize Blizzard to spend up to $40 without additional approval from you for unplanned incidental expenses. We will attempt to make a courtesy call for anything over $25, but we will not wait for your approval to get your child out on the slopes. Any expense over $40 will require your approval before we make the purchase; please respond promptly so your child is not stuck in the chalet! Expenses will automatically be charged to your card on file when Trip Fees are billed.

No-Show Fee

If you make a reservation but do not attend, and you do not cancel by the reservation deadline (usually Thursday at 8:00 p.m.), we charge a $45 No-Show Fee. This covers your reserved seat on the bus that we were unable to assign to another member and is necessary to keep costs low for all members. Higher No-Show Fees may apply for special events.

IF YOU ARE SICK, DO NOT ATTEND BLIZZARD!

We will not charge a No-Show Fee if you contact the office and let us know you are/were sick. If you’re not feeling well, please stay home!

Family Assistance Fund

Blizzard Ski & Snowboard School is committed to socioeconomic diversity in our programs, and to making skiing and snowboarding financially accessible to all families. To achieve this vision, we have established the Blizzard Family Assistance Fund to assist families who might not otherwise be able to afford to ski or snowboard with Blizzard. Please review the online information and contact the office with any questions.
