Typical School Trip to Asessippi… 

Arrival:
When your school bus arrives at Asessippi one of our friendly reps will be there awaiting your arrival at the drop off zone! Our staff member will then escort your group into our Sugar Shacks for a brief welcome!

Process:
The group will watch the "Respect" video, approx. 7 minutes. Our staff will discuss the skier’s responsibility code, local rules and behavior expectations. Lift tickets are distributed at this time. From the Sugar Shack the group will be escorted downstairs to an area where they can drop off their excess baggage!

If the school viewed the "Respect" video and reviewed the ‘School Safety Guidelines Booklet’ prior to arrival, there will be a short presentation on local rules and behavior expectations, approx. 5 minutes, and ticket distribution prior to heading downstairs.

Rentals:
Then it’s off to the rental shop to pick up your helmets and equipment (if required). Equipment is labeled and laid out alphabetically by individual’s first name and last initial!

Lessons:
Once equipped and ready to go our qualified instructors will meet the group outside and commence lessons and evaluations!

Safety & Terrain Variety:
BEGINNERS: Skiers and Boarders that are first or second timers will have been given a ticket with a Red Stripe that gives them access to the Bunny Hill only where their beginner lessons will commence immediately. Once they can turn in both directions and stop, students will be given a Green Stripe which will give them access to the Quad Chair and novice/intermediate terrain.

Skiers and Boarders that are beyond the beginner level will be evaluated and assigned to either a Novice (demonstrate the ability to link turns and stop, but travel slowly and cautiously on green and easy blue terrain), Intermediate (travel with more speed and confidence and can demonstrate rhythm and fluidity in turns on blue and easy black terrain) or Advanced (can vary turns and adapt to different conditions on any terrain with control and confidence and increased speed) lesson group which may go out immediately or at a later time. Intermediate and Advanced lessons may contain elements of carving, freestyle or racing in them.

Students that demonstrate the ability to ski/board in a safe manner on Advanced terrain will be given an additional mark on their lift ticket giving them access to this terrain, including the Terrain Park.

Under no circumstances will a student be given an upgrade to the next level without an evaluation and approval by one of our qualified instructors.

Departure:
Following your visit an Asessippi representative will touch base with you and provide you with our quick and easy evaluation form.
