Ski & Ride School policies and procedures, progressions in learning, and teaching skills are some of the areas that will be covered.

Please select the class that best fits your ability level. The Ski and Snowboard courses run for six (6) consecutive weeks on the same day/time, starting on Friday, Jan. 24, Saturday, Jan. 25 and Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020. It is important that your schedule permits attendance on this day throughout the season because you must attend five (5) of the six (6) lessons offered to receive college credit. There will be classes scheduled during break. BUS TRANSPORTATION IS INCLUDED ONLY FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY COURSES. If you sign up for the course on Friday or Saturday, you must ride the bus- you cannot drive yourself or ride with a friend. You will provide your own transportation for the Sunday class. The course includes a five hour pass, 1 ¾ hour lesson, and rental equipment if needed.

You must contact the college Program Director at Greek Peak, Michael Maley [email protected] and turn in your photo ID pass to the Cornell Physcial Education Dept along with your credit card information prior to the next scheduled class. Your refund will be based on the number of remaining classes not taken that would be required to receive a passing grade, minus a $10 processing fee.

All refunds are issued as a credit back to the credit card used when paying for the class.

Refunds for Medical Illness or Injury Anyone seeking a refund must send a request, including medical documentation of illness/injury (physician’s statement or hospital report, containing diagnosis and treatment), to the College Program Director, Michael Maley, [email protected], immediately following the incident and prior to the next scheduled class. The amount refunded will be a prorated portion of course fees (lesson and rental fees) based on the number of required sessions remaining after the occurrence date of the medical condition preventing participation. The bus transportation charge ($130), if purchased with the course fee, is not refundable. All refunds will be issued in the form of a credit card “credit” for the equivalent of the unused services of Greek Peak, less Greek Peak’s $10 processing fee and Cornell P.E.’s $20 service fee. There will be no refund of course fees if withdrawal occurs after the completion of the 5th week's lesson.
