In the event of cancellation/postponement the program will add a session on one of the 3 scheduled makeup dates.

Absence Policy:

Blue Hills Ski Area is not responsible for missed classes due to personal reasons. No refunds, credits, or make-ups will be offered for personal absences.

 

Inclement Weather:
We are a weather-dependent facility, relying solely on mother nature & our own snow-making capabilities.  We reserve the right to cancel/postpone lessons as deemed necessary by management for the safety of our guests and staff, non-ideal snow conditions, or extreme inclement weather. Due to constantly changing weather forecasts, guests are encouraged to verify operations prior to leaving for the ski area. 

 

Refund Policy:

All registration payments are non-refundable. The following exceptions apply:

 

Program refund will be issued upon receipt of medical documentation that the participant is unable to participate in the program.

 

In the event Blue Hills Ski Area is unable to provide 5 lessons during the 8 scheduled dates of the program, prorated refunds to the original form of payment will be available for lessons, rentals, and snowpass. Season passes will not be refunded or prorated.

 

Late Arrival Policy:

Blue Hills Ski Area is not responsible for late arrivals to class. No refunds, credits, or make-ups will be offered for any missed portions of the class. Should you arrive late, staff will do their best to connect the student with their group in a timely fashion. Please do your best to arrive early to ensure you and your student get the most out of their experience.

 

Rental Fittings:

Pre-season rental fittings are available on December 16, 2023 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and December 20, 2023 from 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm.

 

Additional fittings may be available before January 2, 2024 depending on the operational status of Blue Hills Ski Area. Pre-fittings take time and are strongly recommended in order to make the most of your scheduled lesson.

 

Levels & Grouping:

All participants will complete a pre-level assessment. This may be completed during the pre-season rental fitting with help from our snowsports team, remotely via online form, or verbally with a snowsports team member prior to the start of lessons.

 

Participants will be pre-leveled into 4 groups, White, Green&White, Green, and Blue based on skill level. Corresponding colored flags will be used to mark the locations where participants will meet their instructors and group each week. On the first program day, instructors will assess students in each larger color group to build smaller groups of similar age and stage of skill development.

 

Lift Riding:
The Snow Puppy Program (ages 4-6) will be conducted on surface lifts only. Blue Hills Ski Area has three Magic Carpet surface lifts offering a variety of terrain for learning. If a child has intermediate or advanced experience at this age level, the Snowsports School encourages  scheduled private lessons for the best experience. The Junior Program may be conducted on any available terrain, including Blue Hills Ski Area’s three Magic Carpet surface lifts and/or double chairlift.  As a matter of safety, use of any and all lifts or terrain during a group lesson is at the discretion of Blue Hills Staff.

 

Terrain choice is incredibly important when learning and developing skills. Blue Hills Ski Area Snowsports Team will choose appropriate terrain when teaching for safety, skill development, and enjoyment. Skills that would allow your child to ski with confidence on the most difficult mountain terrain can be introduced, explored, and developed on our surface lift accessed terrain.

​

Instructor Consistency:
Blue Hills Ski Area will make a best effort to ensure instructor consistency; however, we reserve the right to assign all or part of a lesson to an alternate instructor at our discretion (e.g. instances of instructor absence/student ability/class size, etc.)
