By registering for this club, I understand that if I fail to follow any of the above rules and guidelines, I may have my lift pass deactivated, or be suspended from the trip and sent home from the mountain, and/or suspended from all following trips. 

By registering for this club, I understand that my personal belongings are my responsibility and that the bus cannot wait for lost items. 

By registering for this club, I understand that breaking rules that are zero tolerance may result in immediate suspension from the trip with bus transportation privileges revoked, causing a parent or emergency contact to pick me up from the Mountain.  

By registering for this club, I understand that this trip requires independence. I  will be responsible and will not go on any runs that are above my skill level, and I understand that staff members cannot stay with me to help me ski or snowboard.

1. Equipment dropped off before school will be stored during the day in a locked closet.  A Park and Recreation staff person will be at JRMS each Friday morning from 8:00am-9:00 am. The closet will not be opened by JRMS staff during the day. For security reasons, you may not drop off any gear after 9:00 AM. Any gear not delivered by 9:00 AM must get to the bus at 3:30 to drop off equipment to your child. 

2. The Park and Rec. Department must be notified of all cancellations prior to a trip. Any cancellations due to illness or injury must be received by the Wednesday before a trip in order to receive a 50% credit on your household account. A charge of $30.00 will be assessed for any cancellation received after the deadline. Credits may remain on your household account indefinitely. 

3. All participants should attempt to bring a lock for their ski equipment or use the lockable racks available at the ski facility, as there may be over 400 other students also at the mountain. We encourage all skiers to be attentive and responsible for their equipment. Park & Recreation is not responsible for lost or stolen items. 

4. Ski trips are scheduled to return to JRMS at 11:00 p.m. Guardians or rides must be at JRMS just prior to return time. Late pick-ups can result in dismissal from the ski program and forfeiting any remaining trip reservations. Those who are late are subject to a $10 fee for each 15 minutes or part of 15 minutes that they are late. 

5. Guardians must also be familiar with the participant rules on the following page. If a participant is dismissed from the club due to breaking any of the rules or regulations set by the Park & Recreation Department, Mohawk Mountain administration, or possible laws and/or ordinances: you may need to pick up your child from the mountain. Please reserve one adult driver who could get to Mohawk on our club nights in case of an emergency or behavioral concern for a pick-up. 

6. If your child(ren) is new to the sport: this is an independent trip. Our staff will stay at the base of the mountain or will be on the slopes, but they cannot stay with any one child (unless there is an emergency) so they can monitor all participants. Anyone new to the sport should sign up for a lesson and identify a buddy who is on a similar skill level in addition to practicing prior to the trips.
