Wasatch Elementary Schools – Learn to Ski/Snowboard Sponsored by Kodiak 2024

This is a program for Wasatch elementary students (1st-5th graders) and is for complete beginners. If you did this program last year, please consider signing up for the Wasatch Ski/Snowboard Progression Program.

The Get Out & Play Alpine Skiing/Snowboarding programs give kids the opportunity to begin skiing and snowboarding alongside their peers. The program is based on our unique partnership with Park City Mountain and utilizes their talented ski instructors.

Dates: Monday, January 22, January 29, February 5, February 12

Time: Buses will arrive at 3:00pm with an aim to be at the mountain for 3:45pm and return at 6:30pm.

Program Fee:  $180 (includes transportation, lift ticket, and instruction. Equipment is not provided or covered under the program fee)

Required Equipment/Gear: skis/snowboard and boots, helmet, googles and proper snow clothing. **Gear is available for students on scholarship tickets**

Registration Deadline: Registration will close on November 30, 2023 at 11:30pm.

Parents/guardians will drop off their children at 3:00pm at the upper Wasatch UVU parking lot with their gear and in their snow clothes. Students then board a bus for transport to the ski hill where they will have a 2 hour ski or snowboard lesson with their instructor. Once the lesson is completed, students are transported back to the upper Wasatch UVU parking lot where parents can pick them up.

The entire program is parent supported and chaperoned, so please do your best to assist! To make this program happen affordably, we need parent volunteers. Volunteers for Coordinator will receive a sizable discount on one (1) child’s registration. To volunteer as the coordinator please register your child under the coordinator ticket. Other volunteer positions include Bus Chaperones, please use this link to sign up for specific days to volunteer as a chaperone.
