Ski Lessons

🔻Quick reminder that even getting on and off the chairlift can be scary and dangerous for a new skier. Ski lessons are required for those who cannot load/unload the chairlift unassisted.

Gear Rental

Renting gear locally, then carrying it on the bus will be best. Since our time on the hill is limited, I would hate for people to spend it in the rental shop!

Sturdevants Ski Mart (Bellevue) - Offers both rentals or purchase and trade-ins of used gear. Our family has been buying used and trading in for several years now, we’ll do that again this year.
Edge & Spoke (Redmond) - Renting can be a great option for these fast growing kids!
Play it Again Sports (multiple locations)

Other Considerations

In order to save time getting on the bus, please have kids wear their base-layer to school.
Helmets are strongly encouraged!
Head-lamps or other lights are great for seeing, and being seen.
