Park West School Ski/Snowboard Club Come One, Come All!

Park West School will have an alpine (downhill) ski and snowboard club this year with 4 trips to Ski Martock planned. All students in grades 7-9 are eligible. Students at any skill level, from new skier/snowboarder to advanced, are encouraged to come and join the fun, get some exercise, meet new people and develop a life- long skill. (Group ski/snowboard lessons are included in the cost of each trip.) How It Works

The Ski/Snowboard Club operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Trips fill up very quickly.

In order to reserve a spot on any trip, you and your parent/guardian must:

 read, complete and sign the Ski Martock Parental Permission and Release of Liability Form. It is expected that you will view the original colour version of this form on the Martock website http://martock.com/mountain/waivers.php (click on Parent/Guardian Release Rental Form)

 consult the Martock School/Group Information Package for more information about school ski and snowboard trips at Ski Martock, including safety information. You can find it at the following website: http://martock.com/public_html/pdf/schoolbooking.pdf

 watch the Ski Martock School Trip Visit video at: http://martock.com/schools/dvd.php

 submit a separate post-dated cheque for each trip you plan on attending . make cheques payable to “Park West Ski Club” . cheques should be dated for the date of each trip . cheques must have the student’s name clearly marked on them (Prices per trip are listed below.)

 read and complete Park West Parent/Guardian Permission on the back of this letter

(Please submit all forms and cheques to Mr. Driscoll)

*Notes  A spot on any trip will only be reserved once all forms are received and payment is made for each trip a student wants to go on.  If you need to cancel, you must do so at least one week before the date of the trip to receive a full refund. Cancellation later than that will result in the transportation fee ($15.00) not being returned.

Please contact Mr. A. Driscoll ([email protected]) if you have any questions.

Should We Need To Cancel…

Weather conditions on the days of scheduled trips will influence whether or not we can go. If a trip must be cancelled due to weather conditions, students will be notified at the earliest possible time during the day. Cheques will be returned to them as soon as possible.
