service.

PARENT'S INFO
-All
trips are on Fridays and the school bus leaves the school at 6:00 am sharp.
The bus then picks up additional participants at Evergreen Station around
6:15. Parents and family are welcome to come.
-The bus returns to Evergreen Station about 7:00 pm and to the school at
about 7:15 pm. Please note that winter driving conditions can alter this time
estimation. We could be later but we are seldom earlier.
-Skiers and snowboarders will need some sort of eye protection. If it’s
snowing heavily goggles are essential. Sunscreen is important too especially
for fair skinned individuals.
-Food is expensive at the ski area and students can bring a packed lunch. We
will also stop at the Gun Smoke Truck Stop about half way there for a
bathroom / snack break. Beverages that contain strong stimulants are banned
on the bus. That includes Mt. Dew.
-Lunches and shoes can be left on the bus and accessed during the day so
lockers would only be a convenience but not a necessity.
- Because our group rate is based on at least 20 students, we cannot
guarantee a complete refund if your student doesn’t come. Most of the time
the ski club can return 100% of the money for a student that doesn’t come
because most of our trips are way over 20 even after no-shows. The cost of a
lesson can never be refunded though because the ski area won’t refund lessons
to the Ski Club. A refund can be applied as credit for the next trip. After
the last trip any outstanding refunds are mailed home as checks. Refunds are
not given to students as cash. A complete refund, even on lessons, can be
guaranteed if Dave Sauer is notified of the cancellation at least 8 days
before the trip date.
- Because of school insurance company rules, all students must wear helmets which
can be rented. Adults can do so at their own discretion.
- Students planning on using private transportation rather than the school
bus will need a signed note from their parent/guardian unless they are riding
with their parent/guardian.
- People arriving later than 10:00 am will no longer be able to pick up their
lift ticket from Mr. Sauer but will have to go to the Group Sales Office and
tell them they are from Cripple Creek – Victor Schools.
- If it is snowing really hard, a Ski Club trip may be called off as late as
the morning of the trip. In such a case, we will call the number on the
application to let you know very early in the morning. This number will also
be called from the ski area if your son or daughter gets hurt. Put down more
than one phone number if necessary so we can reach you in either scenario.
- Your son or daughter will be on their own at the ski area. They will not be
supervised by a sponsor except for on the bus. They will need to make
intelligent decisions about which runs to go down and whether or not to ski
or ride in the trees. They will not receive instruction from the sponsors on
how to get on or off a lift or on skiing or riding techniques. For students
in grades below grade 6 an adult must accompany them. Grade 6 and up are
permitted to come without adults.
- Payment and completed forms must be turned in by the due date on the
permission slip to get on the trip. This date is well before the trip to
allow time for organizing all the data for the ski area and sending it to
them by their deadline.

Dave Sauer is the main sponsor and can be emailed at dsauer@ccvschools.com or

area or along 90% of the drive but you can leave a voice message and Dave
will check for messages at points of reception along the trip.)
