On the day of your lesson…
The accessible parking and entrance is at the far rear of the building; look for the snow school rear entrance.
Please arrive at Searchmont at least 30 minutes before your first scheduled lesson in order for us to process your forms. Check in at the Snow School registration desk, where you can pay the required fees and complete your paperwork.
From here, an instructor will meet you to discuss your lesson, and answer any questions you might have. If you have any concerns or any information that may impact your lesson that has not been covered by the forms, please discuss it with your instructor prior to heading outside. You can rest assured that our instructors will keep your personal and medical information confidential.
It is helpful to have your paperwork filled out when you arrive at your lesson.

If your school is coming to Searchmont…
Is your school is planning a ski trip this winter to Searchmont? If so, we will do our best to accommodate a student with a disability. Ask about the adapted skiing program at Searchmont Resort. Please note: Each school is responsible for providing transportation and personal support for students. We will accommodate student’s needs on the hill, but the school is responsible for supervision while in the lodge. We will do our best to accommodate all requests, but we require as much advance notice as possible in order to accommodate the request for a certified instructor and trained volunteers.
If you are an out of town visitor…
Visitors to Searchmont Resort can sign up for individual CADS lessons by contacting the Snow School at 1.800.663.2546. In all cases transportation must be arranged by the visitor.
