Saturday, February 15
Meet at the Jham Room at 7:30 a.m. – We will return to church at 5:30 p.m.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!
Due to Mt. Crescent not allowing group rates on weekends this year, the ski trip registration is going to be a little more complicated and more expensive as we will have to pay their full prices. This year parents will have to purchase their student’s ski/snowboard rental and lift ticket themselves on the Mt. Crescent’s website by setting up an account with them and then making the purchase(s) for the day we are going. (Step-by-step instructions are below.) The sooner you purchase your rentals the better as they have a limited number that they will sell on any particular day!
Here is the pricing totals you can expect on their website:
Age 13 and up ski/snowboard rental & lift ticket: $79.18
Age 12 and under ski/snowboard rental & lift ticket: $73.61
Lift ticket only (have your own skis or snowboard): 13&up: $48.99 / 12&under: $43.42
LESSONS NOTE
We will have several adults with us that are ready and willing to help the students learn to ski if they have not done so before. In our experience this has been more helpful than paying extra for group lessons. You are welcome to purchase lessons on the Mt. Crescent website, but rest assured your student will receive instruction and assistance from our own sponsors if they want or need it!
LUNCH NOTE
Each student will need to either bring a sack lunch or money to eat at the ski lodge concession stand.
TO REGISTER FOR SKI TRIP:
1. Follow the instructions below to set up an account on the Mt. Crescent website and purchase your student(s) rental(s) and lift ticket(s).
2. Once you have the ticket/rental purchased, sign up with us so that we know your student is coming here. I will share my list of names with Mt. Crescent before we go so they can look up and verify that they have tickets and rentals purchased and in their system for all students on the list.
3. Fill out and turn in a Jham release form if you have not already filled one out for this year. You can download it here and print at home. Optionally, you may download a fillable pdf of the release form that you can fill out and sign electronically to be e-mailed to John. (If your student went to either Worlds of Fun or Summer Camp this past summer then we already have your release form on file.)
Download the NEW Fillable Release Form!
We now have a fillable release form that you can download here.
Open the pdf in Adobe Reader and then select the Adobe Fill & Sign option to fill out the form and add your signature at the bottom. Then, click “Next” at the top to save a read-only version of the filled out form and e-mail it to me at john.scholle@ihcc.org.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12
Release forms may be turned in on Saturday morning before we leave.
WHAT TO BRING:
1. Sack lunch or money for concessions
2. Gloves, stocking cap, sunglasses or goggles and duffle bag/backpack to carry everything
3. Snow pants or ski bib (dress in layers in case you get warm and want to shed layers)
4. Sunscreen for face
5. Boots are not needed as you will get ski boots to wear
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING UP ACCOUNT AND PURCHASING TICKETS/RENTALS WITH MT. CRESCENT:
- Go to www.skicrescent.com and select “My Account” and either log in to your existing account or create a new account.
- After you have the account set up, select the lift ticket product and then under “Party Member” select “Add New Party Member” to add your student and their information to your account.
- Select February 15 as the date for the lift ticket and then add the lift ticket to your cart.
- Select a ski or snowboard rental (unless your student has their own equipment) making sure you also select February 15 as the date for the rental and assign the rental to your student.
- IMPORTANT: Add the waiver product (for $0) to your cart and assign it to your student so that you can sign the waiver for them. This must be done for anyone under the age of 18.
- According to my contact at Mt. Crescent, the student will just need to give their name upon arrival and they will be able to look up their ticket/rental info.
If you don’t get an order confirmation e-mail from Mt. Crescent, check your junk mail folder as that is where mine went!
