Workshop Details
The workshops happen on two Wednesday nights at the Weston Ski Track which is about 15 minutes outside of Boston on I-90. They make snow, so there is almost guaranteed to be snow for the workshop even if no natural snow has fallen recently.
This workshop will also help prepare you for some of the more advanced ski workshops we offer, such as the annual Cardigan Ski Weekend.
Dates:
- Wednesday, January 25 from 7 - 9 pm
- Wednesday, February 1 from 7 - 9 pm
- Rain date: February 8 from 7 - 9 pm (if one of the above has to be cancelled on account of weather)
You can take either night separately, or come for both nights and get a discount.
Cost: $22 per night, or $40 for both nights
Refunds: If your plans change and you cannot make the workshop after you signed up, we can give refunds until Jan. 11. After that, we cannot give refunds because we will have made too many arrangements based on numbers of people anticipated.
Poor Weather: On the small chance of heavy rain or a stretch of unseasonably warm temperatures so that Weston can’t make snow, we will have a workshop on our rain-date of February 8. We’ll inform you if needed via email, and will also post a notice on this website. We would prefer not to issue refunds because it adds work for us volunteers, and because we will have paid many of the expenses by then, but if you absolutely cannot make the rain-date and need a refund you should let us know right away after the workshop has been cancelled. If we don’t hear by two days after the cancelled workshop we’ll assume you are coming to the rain date.
Ski Rental: Ski rentals are available directly from the Weston Ski Track for an additional cost of around $15. Please plan to arrive a 1/2 hour early if you plan to rent skis.
Children: Because children and adults tend to learn a little differently, we ask that workshop participants be 16 years or older.
