#1: Risk Waiver - REQUIRED
This is a requirement from the MN Ski Area Association to purchase a lift ticket. You must complete a 1Risk Waiver for each Blizzard member prior to their first trip with Blizzard.
#2: Try on your boots
Make sure your ski or board boots fit. If your feet grew since last winter, you'll need new boots! Visit a retail partner for an expert boot fitting. And remember to use your Blizzard member discount if you need a new purchase!
#3: Gear check
Is your equipment ready to hit the slopes? Get a ski/snowboard safety check, tune-up and wax.
Reminder: All members must have their own equipment. Area rentals are not permitted.
#4: Protect your gear
Get a ski/snowboard bag to protect your gear in the trailer. Make sure it's the right length for your equipment! Siblings can share a bag.
#5: Layer, layer, layer
Base layer, mid-layer, outer-layer. Gloves vs. mittens. Snowpants. NO cotton. What does it all mean? Watch the video to learn more about dressing for the slopes. View the full gear checklist for details.
#6: Label, label, label
Love your skis? Think your mittens are unique? We want to make sure you don't lose them! Label your boots, skis/board and helmet with the Blizzard ID stickers from your membership packet. Use the luggage tags to label your ski/board bag. Label your snowpants, jacket, mittens, lunchbox and anything else you bring to Blizzard. A Sharpie is your best friend!
#7: Identify yourself
Find your Blizzard member ID card in your membership packet. Members in Mites, SuperMites, and SuperKyds have their ID card on a lanyard. Older members have a laminated card to carry in their jacket pocket. Have it on you every week!
#8: Pack a lunch
Your child will be active all day skiing or snowboarding. They will be hungry! Pack a healthy lunch, snacks, drink and then double it! Put it all in a reusable (labeled with their name) or disposable lunch bag for your child to carry.
#9: Family Info Night
Join us either November 10 or 15 where Owners, Jeff and Jen Lewin, will provide an overview of the typical Blizzard day from getting on the morning bus to arriving at the ski areas, to how lessons are provided, lunch schedule and the return home on the afternoon bus. All your questions from equipment, costs, program ratios, advancement, trip locations and more will be answered. Learn more!
