Club Program

JOIN the Club!

Boston Mills/Brandywine offers a season-long Club Program for skiers, snowboarders and snowbladers ages 8* to 18. The Club Program includes 4 hours of slope time per session, equipment rental (if applicable) and up to five lessons. For the first five visits, Club members arrive and depart as a group with their Club Advisor. Afterward, Club members are welcome to continue visiting on their designated day and time (at no additional charge) if you wear your Club tag.

Clubs begin in January, as determined by BMBW, and continue to the end of the season. If BMBW must cancel one of your five guaranteed Club visits, we will schedule an additional session for you. Individual make-up lessons are not available.

*Must be 8 years old by January 1, 2011.

Lessons & Necktags

Club members are given a permanent tag for the season, which serves as their admission onto the snow--and is used to get rental equipment, if their package includes it. Tags must be visible at all times, and are valid only for the session indicated. As a Club member, keeping track of your tag is your responsibility! Lost tags are replaced very rarely, and never without an Advisor or after the fifth Club visit. If a tag is replaced, the Club member will be charged a $10 replacement fee.

Each participant’s tag must be validated with a colored sticker indicating the participant’s ability level. The stickers are color-coded to correspond with the relative difficulty of each slope at Boston Mills and Brandywine. Students are not permitted to ski or ride on slopes with a difficulty rating higher than the proficiency level indicated by their sticker, unless in a lesson accompanied by an instructor.

Remember, you may not let anyone use your tag or the equipment obtained with your tag. Any misuse, including sticker tampering, will result in loss of privileges.

So where Can You Ski/Ride @ BMBW? That depends on your sticker level! Check out our guide for details:

Freebie Cards

Club members, except for those with Summit or Season Passholder packages, also receive a freebie card.  This card can be used up to three times for any combination of the following:

• A snow tubing session at Polar Blast
• An All Day snow/lift ticket at Boston Mills or Brandywine
• A LateNight Session at Brandywine   

Freebie cards must be presented at our ticket windows by the person whose name appears on the card, but any of the tickets obtained may be used for a friend or family member if desired. They may not be resold. You can use all three tickets at once, and any lift tickets you obtain include rental if your Club Program package includes rental as well. If a lost freebie card is reissued, the Club member will be charged $10 to replace it.

Gear Up

You can buy your Club Program package with or without ski or snowboard rental*--and if you are a beginner, we highly recommend the rental option! Renters must stay on the type of equipment chosen at signup when using their Club tag. Failure to return rental equipment results in a loss of privileges for the next visit and a replacement charge.

Looking to buy gear? Check out our Open House (Oct. 15-17) at Boston Mills for great deals on new and used equipment. If you have your own snowboard, remember that metal edges and a leash are required.

WHAT TO WEAR

You probably already have the majority of what you need to make your first visit a fun, comfortable one. For hints on what to wear--from head to toe--visit our What Do We Wear Page.

*Snowblade rental is not available. Sled dogs, Big Feet, Snowrunners, etc., are not permitted in the Club Program at all.

Safety. Learning. FUN.

It’s no accident that safety comes first in the list above. Ultimately, safe skiing and snowboarding on the slopes is each person’s responsibility. Always be respectful to your fellow skiers and riders.

Warning tickets may be issued for safety reasons, including skiing or riding out of control, or for disciplinary reasons like snowball throwing and the use of foul language. If you receive a warning ticket, your Club Advisor must accompany you to reclaim your tag for the following session. Some offenses, and any second warning tickets, result in the loss of privileges with no refund.

Your Responsibility Code, shown below, is a partial list. Be safety conscious and courteous at all times.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CODE:

1. Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
7. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

There are NO REFUNDS on this heavily discounted program for any reason, including student removal from the Club due to disciplinary reasons invoked by the Club Advisor, BMBW Ski Patrol or BMBW Management.
