We worked hard as a board to secure funding this year, and despite major increases in lift ticket prices, we're able to offer you this amazing price! Thank you to the Mat-Su Health Foundation for funding this program & getting our kids outside!

Payment is accepted via VENMO or PAYPAL only. A weekly check in will be required so that we can completely fill busses each week. If you fail to check in by Thursday prior to your Saturday ride, your seat may be resold. This is in an effort to keep costs down for all members and give additional kids the opportunity to ride.
Busses will load at the Palmer & Wasilla Carrs parking lots at 7:30am each Saturday departing promptly at 8am. They will return at approximately 6:30 pm, participants will call or text on the way with an approximate arrival time. We ask that parents be prompt for pickup so our volunteers can get home in a timely manner.
There will be 2-3 adult chaperones on each bus and 6-8 at Alyeska.
Participants will need to pack a lunch or bring money to purchase food at Alyeska.
All gear should be clearly labeled with participant's name. Gear can be stored on the bus free of charge, or in Alyeska's lockers for an additional fee each week.
Equipment rental is available for $180 and includes skis or snowboard, boots, poles, and a helmet. Alyeska will have rental gear ready upon arrival each week.
Each participant will receive 1 free lesson at Alyeska, we encourage kids to use them in the first few weeks. Additional lessons can be scheduled by Thursday each week and are $70 each. Lessons are 3 hours this year. Lessons need to be scheduled in advance (by Thursday) so Alyeska can have instructors and classes orgranized. You can do this with your attendance check in.
Parent & Chaperone meeting will be held January 10, 7pm @ Teeland Middle School. Please consider volunteering as a chaperone and joining your child for a fun day of skiing!
We do allow 1 time riders and will have a link on the website to sign up during the season. 1 time rides are $80 and include the bus ride and lift ticket.
