School’s Out Trip @ Afton Alps
December 29 8:00 am - 5:00 pm CST

School’s out and there’s no better way to spend the day than on the slopes with Blizzard Ski & Snowboard School!
Enjoy a full day of skiing or snowboarding at Afton Alps. The trip fee includes a lift ticket, equipment rental (if needed), one-hour lesson (especially recommended for beginners!), and round-trip bus transportation. You’ll receive an invitation after you register.*
After registering online, you’ll have access to required waivers that must be completed to attend. These include:
- Afton Alps liability release – Required for ALL participants
- Afton Alps rental release – Required ONLY if renting equipment
- Afton Alps rental form – Required ONLY if renting equipment
SPECIAL WAIVERS REQUIRED!
Vail Resorts, which owns Afton Alps, requires Vail Resorts waivers for every participant. (This is different than the MNSAA 1Risk waiver required by other areas.) Nobody may board a bus or receive a lift ticket without providing a signed waiver. Please download, print and complete the forms and waivers from your member portal.
