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.

For lifts without a reserved line, we also invite parents to offer their help to instructors to assist children boarding the lift.

Your help is appreciated. Please contact the Snow Schools reserved line or an instructor to indicate your interest.

Rio isn't the only place to boast a colorful carnival! Your snow school will be putting on a colorful show for you during the last weekend of classes. On the program: friendly competitions, medal ceremonies, hot-dog lunches with the instructors and, of course, masquerade costume!

The most important thing for us is that children learn while having fun in a safe environment.

That's how they can improve and develop to their full potential. Our certified instructors, courteous and attentive, help your child develop their skills at their own pace throughout the 7 or 9 weeks of ski or snowboard lessons. Depending on their progress, your child could remain at the same level for two consecutive years. To find out more, talk to your child's school director or instructor. They'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
