Cold Weather – Winter can bring very cold weather to NW Montana; this is a part of the outdoor learning environment. The snow sports school will follow the lead of our operations department and cancel/delay programs to align with lift and mountain closures. While it will be our goal to reschedule, it is not always possible, and we encourage each family to do what is best for them and the needs of the participants on these days. There are no refunds for missed dates.

Program Cancellation Policy. Program fees may be refunded in full without incurring extra fees until November 15, 2025. After November 15, 2025, no refunds will be issued except in the event of injury. No refunds or make up lessons for missed dates. Participation is needed for the first 2 weeks to place children in a well-suited group, (exceptions may be made in case of illness, injury, and extreme weather).
