A word about snowboard lessons:

Each year, we try to get snowboard classes together, but we struggle to get enough students of the same level to form a class.  Grouse will only put a class together if we have 5 snowboarders, and then put them in the same class.  This is fine if all the students are the same level, but if some are beginners and some are Level 2 or 3, then the more advanced boarders are not going to get much out of the lessons...


​Parent volunteers are needed each week for a variety of roles.  Please volunteer for one:
Please see the calendar in the FreshSchools App to sign-up!
