FAQ
What equipment is required?
Helmets are strongly recommended for all participants. Rentals are available onsite. All skis and snowboards must be mountain-appropriate with metal edges and proper bindings. Please note: gear purchased from big box stores that does not meet mountain standards is not permitted
Can my rider switch days?
Please select one day/time for the 5-week block. Limited day changes may be possible if space allows; at info@granitegorge.com.
What if there is bad weather?
We are a winter mountain, so conditions vary! If Granite Gorge must close, a make-up session will be communicated via email/SMS.
Do parents/guardians need to stay?
We recommend parents/guardians remain on the property. Ambassadors and staff are available for check-in and coordination.
