Dates
Because the “day between semesters” is a Monday this year, we have an extra all day ski day without lessons on Monday January 28th. This year there will be 6 trips up to the mountain as opposed to the 5 trips we have made the last couple of years all predicated on when the day between semesters falls.
- Friday, January 11, evening
- Friday, January 18, evening
- Friday, January 25, evening
- Monday, January 28, all day
Friday, February 1, evening(cancelled)- Friday, February 8, evening
- Friday, March 7, evening (make-up day)
Equipment Rentals
Equipment is available for rent from The Summit. To rent equipment from The Summit, you must make a reservation online at www.summitseasonrentals.com each week by 2pm on the day prior to lessons. If you want to comparison shop, rentals are also available at REI, All About Bike & Ski (Laurelhurst), Seattle Ski & Snowboard Rentals (Aurora near N. 150th), and others.
Tickets
Season passes and individual tickets are both available through The Summit. Season passes may be a good deal depending on the skier’s age and the number of times he or she intends to go.
Scholarships
We have a policy of making sure that everyone who wants to go can go, regardless of financial considerations, and we have been very successful at having adequate scholarship money available for that purpose, distributed confidentially. We would appreciate any contributions with your bus registration.
