Please arrive at ski registration day with a complete packet (your family order form, all signed risk assumption forms —two from each participant, including one for Bristol and one for The Training Ground, and check made payable to The Training Ground.)

What does it include?   Depending on which programs you purchase, Bristol offers The Training Ground families discounts on ski rental equipment, lessons, and lift tickets.

What do I need to bring?   See email to TG members’ families.

We need to meet a minimum # of participants, we need parent volunteers to serve as lodge assistants, and we need all parents and students to recognize their responsibilities on the mountain and in the lodge. The Training Ground is NOT responsible for your children, nor for their transportation. Bristol Mountain is NOT responsible for your children. Parents are fully responsible and need to be on site or arrange for a substitute parent to be in charge of their student at Bristol. Please provide this person with all authority, a medical release form, and your cell phone number.

Dress warmly and bring all gear, lift pass, lunch or money for lunch.
