General Terms and Conditions

General Terms and Conditions

  • Powderpigs reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.

  • Refund Policy can be found here: Refund Policy

  • All lessons are available on a first come first serve basis, regardless of previous registrations or history with our ski school. 

  • Instructor tuition discounts and guaranteed access does not apply to adult lessons, or leadership/junior assistant program or anything other then youth lessons, instructor discounts can be found here: Instructor Tuition Discounts

  • Instructor discounts may be revoked at any time at the sole discretion of Powderpigs. 

  • We open priority registration for families that were enrolled in the previous season first. HOWEVER this does not guarantee returning families a specific day, session, or program. Anyone who is eligible for "priority registration" can access ALL sessions. 

  • We do not reserve lessons for anyone, regardless of instructor/admin team recommendation. Unless you have it in writing from a director, we do not reserve any spaces in lessons. 

  • Registering for another session (session day, or session type) in hopes that you can switch to your preferred session does not work. If you cannot register for your preferred session, that session is full and will not accept additional registrations. Our best recommendation is to add yourself to the waitlist to be added to your preferred day if spots open up due to cancellations. Folks that are registered for the incorrect session get no preference on the waitlist when requesting session switches, information on how our waitlist works is below. Folks that register for the incorrect session in hopes to switch sessions will be refunded per our refund policy. 

  • We run our waitlist in two primary ways: who submits first, and how they fit into our available openings in the program. For example, we may choose to go to a later name in the list if earlier names do not fit into currently available skill/speed/personality slots. This is at the sole discretion of Powderpigs.

  • All students must be registered by a legal guardian. You cannot register on behalf of extended family members, friends, relatives or others. Folks that you register that you do not have legal guardianship/custody over will be refunded and removed per our refund policy. 

  • Pre-Registrations, or Early Registration for returning families is limited to immediate family members/guardianships. Extended family members, or folks that you do not have guardianship or custody must enter into the new family lottery. No exceptions.  

  • Students must be age 4 for weekend programs by September 1, all other programs must be aged 5 by January 1st. Our snowboard program starts at age 7. See more specifics on age requirements here: Age requirements
