TRAS requires all skiers to hear a helmet when skiing. TRAS has a large supply of helmets available for loan to 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 12:00PM on the Thursday before the weekend ski program. Skiers who cancel after the Thursday 12:00PM 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 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 PM 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.
- All skiers and volunteers are asked to meet at the TRAS trailer in the Hidden Valley parking lot NO LATER THAN 8:30 AM for the Morning session and 12:30PM for the Afternoon session.
- Please Be Prompt –Morning sessions will run from 9:00AM-12:00PM and afternoon sessions will run from 1:00PM-4:00PM. Skiers arriving late risk having less time to enjoy their skiing experience or having their reservation being taken by another skier.
