2026-27 Registration Schedule now posted!
Most of our clubs fill quickly and rental equipment goes even faster. Our clubs are 100% volunteer run and to support that, we have a phased registration system that gives priority to volunteers!
PLEASE consider volunteering. We provide online and in-person coach training and lots of support. Together we get over 4000 kids on skis each winter!
