School Program
If you would like to accompany your class on a ski trip and take lessons, please register early through Snowline.
Although we work closely together with SSMR SnowSport School, SSAS is an independent volunteer organization. SSASS provides alpine ski and snowboarding instruction to students with diverse learning needs. Each student will be taught by one or two instructors, depending on their needs. We provide lessons at no cost to our students.
Contact Us Early!
If there are students who could benefit from our program, school staff need to contact SSASS well before the scheduled ski/snowboarding days. Contact the SSASS Schools Coordinator via email. We need to know:
- What dates are you coming
- What time the buses arrive
- Lunch plans
- Names and cell phone numbers of on-hill teachers
What We Do
We contact the teacher, CEA, or parent/guardian directly to learn about the student and develop a lesson plan.
On ski/snowboarding day, the instructor will meet the student at a prearranged location and time. The instructor(s) will work with the student individually for up to 2 hours.
The SSASS instructor will return the student to the care of the on-hill school personnel at the end of the lesson.
Registration
Registration for School Program Opens October 1st.
Register as early as possible and minimally 2 weeks before your first lesson. It takes time to process your paperwork and coordinate our volunteer instructors. Starting the process early helps ensure we can accommodate your requested dates. Click the blue Register button below to open Snowline.
Cancelling a lesson
If the student needs to cancel a lesson it is important to contact your instructor as early as possible but at least before 6pm the prior day.
Parents/guardians need to complete two registration forms:
- The school’s registration packet given to all students participating in the ski/snowboarding day
- SSASS Student Application form which is accessed via the Snowline Portal. All students who participate in SSASS programs must complete this form. The school may have advised you of this.
If the student has been with SSASS before they will likely already be registered. If you cannot access the registration, contact us for help. We may need to reset passwords and/or email address.
Please note that your application cannot be considered until all information is completed. We need at least one week to process your application, post your lesson and request and assign instructors.
As part of the SSASS registration, all students must have a current CADS membership. This may be partially or fully subsidized by SSASS.
Contact the SSASS Schools Coordinator via email if you have questions.
