What should my kids wear?
Dress in waterproof layers, wear gloves or mittens, and don’t forget goggles or sunglasses. Helmets are highly recommended (and included with most rentals). No cotton, please, it doesn’t keep kids warm when wet.

Are lunches provided?
No. Please pack a nut-free snack and lunch each day. Many parents set up a resort charge linked to their child’s pass to make buying lunch easier. Learn more here:

What kind of pass does my child need?
A valid Ikon Pass or Sugarbush Premium Pass is required for all Lincoln Peak programs and Freeski Teams.
For Mt. Ellen Blazers and the Mt. Ellen Snowboard Team, a Local Pass is also acceptable, though Ikon and Premium Passes work too.

What is the Sunday Add-On?
The Sunday Add-On is available for select Sunday programs and gives your child a second day of coaching each weekend. It’s a great way to build skills faster and get more time with their group and coach. Availability varies by program.
Where do we meet on program days?
Detailed check-in instructions will be emailed before the season begins.
How are you groups determined?
The first two weeks of the season are crucial. Coaches evaluate each child’s ability, comfort and personality to build balanced groups that support learning and fun. Groups may shift slightly early in the season to ensure the best fit for everyone.
What if we miss a day?
We’re unable to offer make-up sessions or refunds for missed days due to weather, illness or other conflicts. Every weekend is unique, and our coaches do their best to keep the group progressing even when someone is out.
What happens in bad weather?
Seasonal programs run in most conditions... snow, sleet or shine! Make sure to pack and dress appropriately. We monitor forecasts closely, and in the rare case of extreme weather or dangerous travel, we’ll notify families.
My child is just learning. Is there a program for them?
Yes! Micro Blazers and Mini Blazers may be a great fit depending on age and comfort on snow. If your child is brand new to skiing or riding, we also recommend our Schoolhouse Programs, which are designed for first-timers and early learners.
