If you are late for reasons beyond your control, a supervisor will guide your child to their group. If your child is more than 10 minutes late, it will be your responsibility to find their group.
The Snow School reserves the right to cancel a course due to weather conditions. Winter temperatures in Quebec vary from year to year, and let's face it, we live in a Nordic country. Cold weather is not a factor in cancelling a class. It is the parent's responsibility to contact the ski school to check if a lesson is cancelled. The decision will be made that morning and posted on the website at 7 a.m. It is therefore ESSENTIAL to visit the resort's website to find out the status of the lesson. If a group course is cancelled, it will be rescheduled for the day off already scheduled.
We would like to offer parents of children taking lessons the opportunity to use the line reserved for Snow Schools. To access this line, the parent must help one or two children who require assistance boarding the lift during their lesson. Only accompanying parents may use this line.
