Where and when do I meet for class?

 [-]
Your meeting place depends on your class type.

Usual meeting spots:
  • Beginning skiers and all snowboarders—during Sunday night check-in, talk to the
       Ski School representative about where to meet.
  • 100% ski (intermediate through advanced)—in front of the Super Sign*
  • 100% racing—under the Broadway Express (Chair 1) lift
  • 50% ski/50% race—between the Super Sign* and the Broadway Express (Chair 1)
       lift
  • 75% ski/25% race—left of the Super Sign*
    * The Super Sign is the very large electronic sign, slope side of the Main Lodge to the left of Broadway
       Express (Chair 1) lift.

    • What if my class doesn't fit my skiing level or goals?

    		 [-]
    Instructors tailor classes to the majority of class members, and you may find your goals are different.

    Talk to your instructor right away (best by mid-day Monday). Your instructor may be able to accommodate you or will arrange for you to join another class.

    What happens if I miss Sunday night check-in?

    		 [-]
    If you miss Sunday check-in, call John Catozzi (858-663-2249) or Chris Starczak (310-245-0453), and let them know when you will arrive.

    You can pick up your registration materials on Monday, 8-8:30 AM, in the Ski School, slope-side to the right of the Broadway Express Chair 1 lift.

    If you know you'll miss check-in on Sunday, consider asking a friend to pick up your packet for you.

    How much should I tip my instructor?

    		 [-]
    The general rule of thumb is $30-40 per person for the week, but you decide.

    Usually someone in your class volunteers to collect the money and get a thank-you card so your class can present the tip to the instructor at Friday's banquet.

    Where should I sit during the banquet?

    		 [-]
    Classes and their instructors usually sit together. Usually one student from each class arrives early enough to stake out a table.

    What if I have to leave camp early because of emergency, injury, or illness?

    		 [-]
    If you have to leave early, notify your instructor (and give them your lift ticket, if you have one).

    Then contact one of the camp coordinators: John Catozzi (858-663-2249) or Chris Starczak (310-245-0453).

    What's early-bird and after-camp skiing?

    		 [-]
    Some members come early and ski or ride a day or two before camp. If you want, select the 9-day package for lodging from Friday to Sunday.

    And, if you want to ski on the Saturday and/or Sunday after camp, you can buy discounted lift tickets for those days too (although you might want to wait until Friday to be sure conditions are good.)

    		 [-]

    If I'm staying at the Inn, where do I park?

    Are there laundry facilities at the Inn?

    		 [-]

    Can a friend come in for a few days and stay on the sofa in my condo?
