Three Rivers Adaptive Sports
2010 TRAS SKI PROGRAM REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
The following is the procedure that ALL adaptive skiers, instructors and volunteers MUST follow to register for TRAS Ski Outings.
Advanced reservations are required. So that we can appropriately plan the amount and type of equipment, volunteers and instructors needed for everyone to have the most positive ski experience possible. Advanced reservations are required no later than 12:00 P.M. on the Tuesday before the weekend ski program (See TRAS Ski Schedule).
To make your reservation call the TRAS Line (412) 848-8896 or Email (mark4tras@comcast.net).
Please leave a message including all of the following information:
1.Your Name
2.Your Phone Number and/or email address
3.Your preference for morning, afternoon or whole day session
4.Your Adaptive Ski Technique and Equipment Needed
5.Number of Skiing Friends, Family, Volunteers who will accompany you and if they will be renting equipment through our group
6. Other Information You Feel Is Appropriate
Due to the large number of adaptive skiers, instructors and volunteers registering for TRAS’ Ski Program each week, we will not routinely respond to phone or email reservations unless absolutely necessary. After making your phone or email reservation, assume that it has been received. We cannot possibly respond to all phone or email reservations simply to confirm that it has been received. However, we may contact you upon request to answer specific questions. We may also need to contact you regarding your session time, adaptive equipment needs or to get additional information in order to make your skiing experience as positive as possible.
TRAS Ski Program Fees
Half Day = $50 (TRAS Member); $60 (Non-Member)
Whole Day = $75 (TRAS Member); $85 (Non-Member)
First Time Skier Special= $40 (One Time Only)
*Skiers with their own pass/lift ticket will receive a $20 discount off the above fees.
TRAS provides lift tickets, adaptive ski equipment, helmet and instruction/ski buddy.
Stand-up skiers are responsible for renting their own ski equipment (boot, skis). Stand-up equipment can be rented at the ski area or at a local ski shop of your choice. Skiers needing to rent stand-up equipment can receive a group rate of $17 through TRAS at the ski area. Stand-up rental forms and payment must be made at the TRAS registration desk.
TRAS requires all skiers to hear a helmet when skiing. TRAS has a large supply of helmets available for anyone who does not have their own helmet.
Scholarships are available and considered on an individual basis. Contact TRAS for eligibility details.
Cancellations will be accepted no later than 12:00P.M. on the Thursday before the weekend ski program. Skiers who cancel after the Thursday 12:00P.M. deadline (or who are a session “no-show”) will have to pay for the cancelled/missed session prior to being accepted for future TRAS ski sessions. Late cancellations and “No-Shows” cost TRAS valuable volunteer and/or financial resources that we cannot afford to waste.
Instructors and volunteers also need to call the TRAS Line or send an email each week to let us know if you intend on helping out! It is very important that instructors and volunteers also call or email no later than 12:00 P.M. on the Tuesday before the weekend ski program. It is imperative that we know your availability in advance so that we can schedule skiers based on the number of instructors and volunteers we have committed to helping out for each session. TRAS will cover the cost of lift tickets for volunteers/instructors who commit to volunteer the whole day.
Non-Skiing Volunteers are also very much needed, to assist with everything from skier registration, equipment and boot loading. The more help we have, the better the fun for everyone. So if you’re not a skier, you can still make a big contribution to our program. Call the TRAS Line at (412) 848-8896, to let us know your availability and how you would like to help out.
All skiers are asked to meet NO LATER THAN 8:30 A.M. for the Morning session and 11:30A.M for the Afternoon session. Look for the TRAS group inside the Lodge.
Please Be Prompt –Morning sessions will run from 9:00A.M.-12:00P.M.; Afternoon sessions will run from 1:00P.M.-4:00P.M. Skiers arriving late risk having less time to enjoy their skiing experience or having their reservation being taken by another skier.
