TOPS Middle School
Ski/Snowboard Program

W I N T E R 2 0 1 1

General

The program consists of five Friday evening trips and one Friday all day trip from TOPS to Summit Central @ Snoqualmie Pass and back to TOPS. We organize, collect the money, and pay for the bus only. Each skier deals directly with The Summit regarding lessons, equipment rentals and lift tickets via their website: www.summitatsnoqualmie.com

Any current or previous student in good standing may participate in the TOPS Ski Program. Any current TOPS student must attend school the day of ski bus to participate in ski bus that day. The Mission Ridge Family Ski Trip is planned once again for February 24th–27th–info will follow and please join us!

Bus Transportation

$175 for the 6 bus trips. TOPS only collects money for the bus. Please bring your check made out to TOPS and your Bus Registration and Emergency Medical Forms to the TOPS Office by Friday, November 19, 2010.

Lessons

Two-hour small group lessons (skiing OR snowboarding), with TOPS students only, are available for a discounted group rate of $110. We strongly encourage students to enroll in this 5 lesson package. Learning makes the sport a lot more fun, and the lessons also add some structure to the evening.

Register online by December 1, 2010. There will be NO LESSONS on the ALL DAY ski day January 28th.
Registrations after that date are on a space available basis with a $25 late fee.

Equipment Rentals

Snoqualmie Summit Rental Season Pass Option:
Equipment is available for rent from The Summit for $119 + tax ($129.23). This makes life easier if you are a beginner as you don’t have to carry gear to school and to and from the bus.

An equipment reservation with The Summit must be made
for each week by 1 pm on the day prior to lessons.

Visit www.summitseasonrentals.com and use your name and customer number to indicate date, type of equipment and ski base area for your pick up.
This is a critical step in the rental process. NOTE: All 6 reservations can be made at once.

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.

Lift 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. Here is a rough comparison and all prices do not include sales tax.

ADULT ages 19-61 (Summit lesson student)	TEEN ages 13-18 (lesson student)	YOUTH 7-12 (lesson student)

The Summit must have your registration by December 1, 2010
or they will charge a $25 late fee.

This is a serious deadline!
There is no guarantee that passes will be mailed if your forms are late. Being late is a serious hassle for The Summit and our TOPS coordinators, plus it costs you $25.
