Ski and Snowboard Club

Hello DHMS Families!

We are excited to offer students the opportunity to Ski/Snowboard at Afton Alps this winter season!       The dates for Ski Club will be:

Friday January 5^th

Friday January 12^th

Friday January 26^th

(Make-up or tentative extra date: Friday February 2^nd)

There is a lot of information, so please read carefully all the way through. More information will be coming out as well as the dates approach!

We are offering a few options this year, and one is very time sensitive, so we would like to get the information out as soon as possible.

Afton is piloting a Ski Slope Days program this year. Parents would need to sign up for all 3 dates to utilize this program. The cost would include a lift ticket, equipment rental and a lesson each of

those dates for $199. There are no make-ups or refunds from Afton if a student misses, unless school is cancelled. It is a really incredible deal if students are in need of rental and a lift ticket, and the lesson is an added bonus.

To access this deal parents must purchase through Afton at this link BY DECEMBER 15^th here. https://www.aftonalps.com/plan-your-trip/ski-and-ride-lessons/products/slope-days

The unique code for DHMS is AADHMS3FRI.

(THERE IS AN ATTACHMENT WITH THIS EMAIL THAT LEADS YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REGISTERING FOR SLOPE DAYS)

The price breakdown for families interested in only a lift ticket, or only 1 or 2 of the trips, the price breakdown for each week will be as follows:

Lift Ticket: $39               

Rental: $36

No lessons are available at this time for students not participating in the Slope Days.

Signing up for these options will be through MyPaymentsPlus two weeks or so before each trip. It will close the Friday before for the following week. Prompts will be emailed when these options are available online. Look for info to come next week for the January 5^th trip.

The cost of the bus rental will be $10 a week for each student. The bus will leave from DHMS after school and return at 9:45 PM each week.

At this time, we are limiting the club to 50 students, with priority given to “Slope Days” registrants. If there is enough interest, there is the possibility to add a 2^nd bus, but we will need enough to offset the cost. We also would be able to offer the group rates to students who will be using their own transportation to/from the slopes. I believe that adults/siblings can also utilize the Slope Day pricing, but it will only be for the DHMS Ski Club dates.

We will have a student meeting during flex before break for those students who plan to attend one or more of the ski club dates. Please email with questions or concerns. Looking forward to some wonderful Friday nights on the slopes!
