Students in grades 9-12 at Bolton High School may participate in our Ski/ Snowboard Club program. Students will be released after school to the chaperones and will stay at Bolton High School until 3:00pm where they will be picked up via coach bus. Staff and parent volunteers are present on the bus and at the mountain. The bus will depart Powder Ridge at 8:30pm to come back to BHS for pick up approximately 9:15pm.

Lessons are available if you wish to have your child participate in them. We will have a start time of 4:00pm each week. The lift pass activates at the lesson start time and is valid for four hours, ending at 8:00pm.  Participants who do a lesson package will have a 75-minute lesson first, followed by free time to ski or snowboard using the remainder of the lift pass. If your child does not sign up for lessons, they will not receive any instruction from Powder Ridge staff or our parent volunteer chaperone's.

Registration ends by Monday December 1, 2025, or when all available spots are taken, whichever comes first.

$20 late fee will be charged to individuals that sign up after Dec 1st

Helmets are mandatory at Powder Ridge!!

If your child is renting equipment, you will complete Rental Waiver Form after your fitting. You may come in prior to your first visit to get fitted for equipment. This will get students on the mountain quicker. After the first visit/ fitting equipment will be ready for pick-up.

Ski Swap is November 1st 9 – 4 pm for great deals on new & used equipment or check out our seasonal leases. Participants will meet in the lodge upon arrival to receive lift pass and instructions.
