Pre-Season Top 10 Checklist
#1: 1Risk Waiver - REQUIRED
This is a requirement from the MN Ski Areas Association to purchase a lift ticket. You must complete a 1Risk Waiver covering each participant prior to their first trip with Blizzard.
#2: Try on your boots
Make sure your ski or snowboard boots fit. If your feet grew since last winter, you'll probably need new boots! Visit a retail partner for an expert boot fitting. And remember to use your Blizzard member discount!
#3: Gear check
Is your equipment ready to hit the slopes? Be sure to visit us in the shops on Blizzard Member Days November 15 & 16. Get your season-long rental or new equipment or a ski/snowboard safety check, tune-up and wax for your gear from last season.
Reminder: All members must have their own equipment. Area rentals are not permitted.
#4: Protect your gear
Get a ski/snowboard bag to protect your gear in the trailer. Make sure it's the right length for your equipment! Siblings can share a bag.
#5: Layer! Layer! Layer!
Base layer, mid-layer, outer-layer. Gloves or mittens. Snowpants. NO cotton. What does it all mean? Watch the video to learn more about dressing for the slopes. View the Gear & Apparel Guide for details and use it while you're shopping.
#6: Label, label, label
Love your skis? Think your mittens are unique? We want to make sure you don't lose them! Label your boots, skis/board and helmet with the Blizzard ID stickers from your membership packet. Use the luggage tag to label your ski/board bag. Label your snowpants, jacket, mittens, lunchbox and anything else you bring to Blizzard. A Blizzard Sharpie is your best friend!
#7: Identify yourself
NEW! Find your digital Blizzard member ID card in your online Blizzard account. Members in Mites, SuperMites, and SuperKyds will be have their ID card on a lanyard to wear every week.
#8: Pack a lunch
Your child will be active all day skiing or snowboarding. They will be hungry! Pack a healthy lunch, snacks, drink -- and then double it! Use your new Blizzard string backpack to carry your lunch! Remember to write your name on it. And feel free to personalize it so you know which one is yours!
#9: Family Info Night
Join us Thursday, November 13th at 7pm via Zoom where directors Jeff and Jen Lewin will provide an overview of the typical Blizzard day. From getting on the morning bus to arriving at the areas, to how lessons are provided, the lunch schedule, and the return home on the afternoon bus. We'll answer all your questions about equipment, lesson advancement, trip locations and more! Invitations with the Zoom link will be sent next week to all registered families.
