NOTE:The CNSC Elementary School Ski Program requires one parent supervisor per 10 children to assist the children with sizing of rental equipment, help oversee the group during lessons, pull up the rear on the trails, provide assistance to children putting on and taking off gear. Please remember though, that the lessons are for the children, and parents need to be comfortable enough on skis to manage themselves.
- CNSC will outfit one parent supervisor/group at no charge. All other
visiting parents will receive a special rate of $10.00/half day for rental
equipment and trail fee, or $13.00/full day for rental equipment and trail
fee (includes classic, waxless skis only).
