U16 to U18

The U16 to U18 Program focuses on having fun, improving technique, and meeting new friends. Our instructors will keep the group moving, build confidence though guided mileage, and provide tips for technique improvement on a variety of hills. Our Never-Ever ski and snowboard groups can enjoy lower student to instructor ratios to help students progress faster. Students will be grouped based on the previous season's Final Assessment and/or declared ability at time of registration.

Your Program Lesson Tag acts as a valid lift ticket on the day of your lesson (open to close).

NOTE: All Sales are Final.

• If Chicopee cancels your weekly lesson, you will be notified, and the lesson program will be extended, and run on the same day and time. [For the 2026-2027 season there are two possible extensions: Week 10: MAR 6 to 12, 2027 and/or Week 11: MAR 13 to 19, 2027].
• If Chicopee cannot deliver your 9-week lesson program within the season (until MAR 21, 2027), you will be notified, and the cancelled lesson will be credited (prorated value) to your account. This credit may be used to purchase lift tickets, daily rentals, membership, passes, cards, camps and lessons (excludes: retail, food and beverage items).
