Important Tips For Parents

Returning Participants:
It is highly recommended that you participate in one of the two weekends in December.  Everyone’s skiing/riding needs to be re-evaluated at the start of the new season. We want to make sure that kids are in the proper group from the onset.  Kids grow and things can change over the summer!  Changing groups around in January is frustrating for everyone.  If you are unable to attend one of the first two weekends, email the Blazer Program Supervisor Mickey Stone at mstone@sugarbush.com.

New Participants:
Because having balanced groups is so important to the overall success of this program, this season it is required that new participants attend  one of the two weekends in December. New Blazers will have their skiing/riding evaluated by the coaching staff, so they can be put in the correct group at the very beginning of the season. If you can not attend any of these sessions, consider a Seasons Pass to the Bear Den as a option.
