Baby, It's Cold Outside!

It's Metro Club's turn to hit the slopes this weekend, but we want everyone to be warm and safe. We are watching the temperatures closely and consulting with our transporatation provider, the snowsports area and industry partners to make a decision.

Please watch your email, our social media and check our website by 12pm on Friday, Feb 5th for a final determination if we able to run the trips or need to cancel.

For more information on our cold weather policy, please visit our website.

Hope to see you on the slopes!
CHANGES STARTING JANUARY 23
New Lunch Rules: Parents - Please Tell Your Teens

We’ve learned a lot about lunch logistics through the first few trips. Our prized parent volunteer Chaperones worked their tails off hauling all those wonderful lunches from the buses to the chalet, and back again at the end of the day taking nearly 90 minutes each way! We need to make adjustments.

  • Lunches must continue to fit into a 2 gallon (or smaller) Ziploc-style plastic bag.
  • Please write your child’s name, group (K-5 only), bus stop and bus pod (A/B/C/D) on the bag.
  • Pack food for lunch and warm-up breaks only. Hopefully, you got a feel from the first trip for the right amount for your child. Note that we are not permitted to eat or drink while being transported on buses per the current Youth Sports Guidelines from the MDH. Sorry.

  • NEW: EVERYTHING GOES IN THE TRASH AT THE END OF THE DAY [nothing comes home]
  • We realize this is not eco-friendly, but it’s the best option to make the process work.
  • Do not pack a thermos, reusable water bottle, lunch cooler, Tupperware, etc. Think of a good old brown bag lunch.
  • Do not pack extra socks, mittens, etc. in your lunch bag. These are good items to leave in a small bag on the bus (where Blizzard Staff can help your child retrieve them in a pinch). Putting an extra dry mask or two in a zippered pocket is a great idea!
  • Do not pack multiple canned beverages. A couple juice pouches or a disposable 16-ounce bottled water are great options.

  • PARENTS: PLEASE TELL YOUR TEENS
  • NO eating on the bus on the way to or home from the hill.
  • NO food will be saved after after lunch/snack time. If you want it, put it in your pocket.
  • NO coming back into the chalet at the end of the day. Your snacks are not there.

If you have items that your child must have access to during the day (medications, sensory items, etc.), please just let us know. We will coordinate during the day and make sure items make it home again. 
Hey, Parents:
Come ski or board with us!

We know many of you like to hit the slopes while your kids are in lessons with Blizzard instructors, but some areas have been sold of out lift tickets.

Next time, when you RSVP for your child, make a reservation for a lift ticket for yourself! You'll receive your lift ticket at the Blizzard Table when you check in and at a discounted rate! We have limited quantities, so contact the office early!
Account Credit

Due to restrictions from the governor and the MN Department of Health (MDH), we couldn’t start running trips in December or early January as planned. We had hoped to add trips on MLK Day and Presidents Day, but ultimately those were not feasible.

We’re down from six trips to five trips per Club. We have decided to give everyone a credit*, which will be automatically applied to your child(ren)’s next trip fee. If you miss a trip, we’ll just apply it to the next one you attend. Enjoy the discount! :)

* Staff and Family Assistance Fund discounts supersede all other discounts.
