The Snow School will contact you to review your program selection and proceed with the full payment of the program. At the moment of your reservation, one of our representatives will inform you of the remaining availabilities in your desired options and we require payment in full to finalize your inscription. Due to the high demand for certain programs and certain time slots, no reservation can be made without payment in full of the value of the course.

 

There are 2 sign-up periods:

 

Pre-Registration from mid-April to Mid-May for the following season. During this time, you will be ensured to get our best rates of the season and you will have the best chance at getting that specific spot you want. This pre-registration period is divided into 3 phases, you will find the details here.

 

General registration resumes on May 15th and takes place until the end of December. Depending on the program and time slot, some options will become full rapidly due to the high demand. Spaces are filled according to the order in which we receive registration requests. Be assured, however, that our team will be happy to offer you all possible options in order to find a program that will suit your family!

 

If a program or time slot is no longer available at the time of your request, it will be possible to add your name to a waitlist, which only guarantees a space if another one is given up. We encourage you to select another option or time slot to ensure your participation in our weekend programs.
