After School & College Programs

23-24 AFTER SCHOOL & COLLEGE PROGRAMS|REGISTER NOW

West Mountain has been making students happy while teaching them to learn to ski and snowboard with their school friends since 1961. Our After School and College Programs begin Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024 and run for 6 weeks (not including holiday break weeks), and all participating schools come one day a week from 3-9pm on their designated day of the week. 23-24 Program Registration opens on Sept. 15 and closes on Dec. 15 without a late fee. The After School Programs are for children ages 7-18. The new College Programs are for active college students. All students have to be affiliated with a school or college and the school or college has to have a lead organizer.

ADD-ON OPTIONS FOR THE 2023/2024 AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS INCLUDE:

Add A Lesson: We recommend all After School Program participants enroll in lessons to advance their skills. Lessons involve a 1-hour group session where skiers and riders are grouped by age & ability. Skiers & snowboarders of all levels will have 6 weeks to learn to ski and snowboard while meeting new friends. A lesson is a great way to start things off.

Add Rentals: Our Rental shop, located at West Mountain, offers two types of rental options:

1. Season-long rentals that you keep at home for the season and can use anywhere, and

2. Six-week rentals that you keep at West which can be used from 3-9pm on the days of the program.

All renters will need to visit West Mountain Sports (across the courtyard from the Main Lodge) to be fitted for your equipment ahead of the season. Seasonal renters should register for the program and stop in soon after purchase to be fitted for equipment to take home and keep for the season. Rental Prefit Dates are available HERE

Add A Meal Plan: The Meal Plan includes 6 meals to be redeemed during your child’s program time and day of the week. Each student has the option to choose one from the following:

• ½ sandwich

• Cup of soup or chili

• Popcorn chicken

• Hamburger

• Hot dog

• Grilled cheese

• Slice of pizza

Students can also add a small salad or fries as well as add a small fountain drink or milk.
