Common Cascade Kids Questions:

Question:	Answer:
How do I determine the ski /snowboard level for my child?	You can use the chart below to help you decide, but the instructor can help with that determination at the start of the lesson.
Do I have to stay with my child the whole time?	No, just leave them with their instructor during the lesson. There will be a break time in the middle of the lesson, we provide them with a snack and you could visit with them then.
Can I stay near them while they are doing the lesson?	We really don't recommend the parents stay with the children. It can be distracting to them, and interfere with the learning process. We do have a lounge area in the upper level of the main building that overlooks the beginner area if you would like to watch from a distance.
Do you have younger / and older instructors?	We have both young and older, experienced and certified instructors.
Where do I go when I get to cascade?	As soon as you arrive go to the SNOW SPORTS SCHOOL located in the main lodge building. You can pay for everything there, even the adult's tickets and rentals.
Do I need to fill out any waivers?	Yes, the Cascade Kids Waiver. You can find it HERE. Print it out, fill in all the information and bring it with you when you come.
What time should we be there?	If you need to rent equipment you should come at least 1 hour before the lesson. If you do not need rentals at least a half hour before is fine. Coming early for the morning session is recommended regardless if you're renting or not.
How many kids are in each lesson?	It depends on the session really, but the cascade kids program tries to keep 4 or 5 kids per instructor.
How do you "separate" the kids?	The kids are grouped by skiing / snowboarding ability.
What if all the sessions are booked?	If all the sessions are filled for the day you wanted we have other lesson programs you could chose. Children ages 4-9 would need a private lesson. Private lessons are $60/hour for the first child. If you have additional children that need a private lesson it would be $30 per additional child. Children 10+ can chose either a private lesson or a group lesson. Group lessons are $20 per person.(Reservations are not needed for group lessons.) Private lessons are based on instructor availibility.
Who can I contact if I have any other questions?	You can send us an email HERE, or call us at 1-800-992-2754.
