Sign Up for Ski Club!

Families!

 

We have just received the information and registration links for the 2024/2025 Ski & Snowboard Club from Pine Knob. We had such a great ski season with everyone last year, despite not having the best snow conditions.  Hopefully this year brings even better snow and more good times on the slopes!

 

We ended up having 38 members last year! It was great to meet many new faces and Natalie and I really enjoy being a part of the club. We hope to see you join again and add new members to our growing club. If your child has finished elementary and moved on to middle school, they’re still welcome to join!  

 

This year we have moved the ski club night to Thursday evenings (starting in January), in part due to suggestions by multiple club members. Hopefully this works with most of you who wish to join. Prices did not increase from last year.

 

As a reminder, the Ski Club is great for beginners as well as those who wish to improve their skills or just ski/snowboard with friends.  All members must be at least 7 years old by the first week of January.  

 

Membership for students includes 6 lift tickets for Ski Club evenings at Pine Knob.  Club members also receive nearly 50% off lift tickets when showing their member card on non club nights.  Group Student Lesson packages are also available for a discounted rate and allow kids the opportunity to progress through the patch system together. Students will be assessed and grouped appropriately by skill level. In our experience, the lessons have been excellent and fun!

 

For those who don't already have ski/snowboard gear, discounted rentals can be added at checkout.  Both The Ski Company LTD (Rochester) and Boyne Country Sports (Bloomfield) have excellent seasonal rental programs as another option. Our two kids have used Boyne Country Sports seasonal program the last few years and we’ve been very happy.  

 

Adults can join as well if they would like to ski or snowboard with their children at a significant discount. Or they're welcome to hang out at the cafeteria or restaurant located in the lodge. There are large windows for spectating.  Once again, we're allowing any of your friends who are not students at Musson or Long Meadow to join as well.  So feel free to pass along the info and link to sign up under our group.

  • Skill evaluation - Complimentary for new members who do not have patches but already can ski down beginner terrain, turn and stop, and ride a chairlift by themselves. It can be used by any club member to evaluate skills for patches even if not involved in our student lesson package.
  • Student member private lesson - $80 private lesson ($10 off our retail price for private lessons). Use the promo code at checkout for a discounted price. Patches can be earned during private lessons. Available any time the resort is open during ski school hours.
  • Patches - Patches are earned by students when they achieve specific skiing or riding skills. Patches can be purchased at the ski school desk for $5 each with instructor approval of skill level.
Once we have our members signed up, you will receive follow-up information with more specifics. Just like last year, we will be seated at a table in The Pinery to pass out that day's lift tickets and assist any kids with gearing up.  After about 6pm, I’ll typically head out to the hill and ski with the kids.

 

Looking forward to another great ski season! Reach out if you have questions.
