As you can see, Wolf is throwing in the rentals for free during the first three weeks with lessons.
Note: If you already have a season pass to Wolf Mountain and don’t need rentals, the first
three weeks will be only $45, and there is no cost for the last three weeks, so your total owed
will be $170 (which includes the transportation fee of $125).
Note: A student who already qualifies for fee waivers may apply for one of the half-price
scholarships we have available for the ski club. Check the fee-waiver box on your application.
These will be administered to those who have already qualified for school fee waivers on a firstcome, first-serve basis.
ABOUT THE CLUB:
Our main goals are to improve our skiing or riding and to have a social group in which to ski or
ride. Lessons are required for the first three weeks and will last 1½ to 2 hours. Lessons are
required for everyone: beginners, intermediates, and experts. Upper-level lessons will include
instruction on techniques and etiquette for negotiating terrain parks, off-piste, and more
difficult runs. Students will pay all fees upfront. Students should plan to bring money to buy
food and drink, or they may bring their own sack lunches, drinks, and snacks.
