Welcome to Sugar Salem Ski School 2024 Season

We are excited to announce that the 2024 Sugar Ski School with Kelly Canyon is open for signup. Please check back to this page for updates and join our Facebook group where we post regular updates and answer questions so everyone can have the same info.  The Sugar Ski School is for kids going to Sugar Salem school district only and will need to ride the bus from the schools unless parents are chaperones.

Notice – Changes for the 2024 season, please read everything below before signing up.
Ski School 2024 This year will be much like last with all of the same changes in place.  Kelly Canyon has continued to improve the resort in many ways since last year.  Check this website often as well as join the Facebook group if you have not already done so. All updates will be posted there and it’s much easier to answer questions where everyone can see the answers.

Schedule We are planning on the following four days for ski school. Jan 12 3-7:30pm, Jan 19 3-7:30pm, Jan 26th 10am-2:30pm, Feb 2th 3-7:30pm. The cost will be $210 for ticket, lessons and bus rides.  Rentals will be extra at $20/day for skis and $20/day for a snowboard. All students will ride the bus to the hill unless riding with chaperones.  Students can ride home with parents if a note is given to the bus director before leaving the school.

Helmets Helmets are STRONGLY encouraged for all students and adults on the hill.  We have had some major accidents over the past few years that could have been prevented if helmets were worn.  All rentals from Kelly’s include helmets so be sure to ask for one.

New Changes at the Resort Snow makers, reconditioned lifts, new lights, remodeled lodge and the list goes on.  Many of these were in place last year but not fully completed.

Ticket style – RFID cards These cards look similar to a credit card and the kids need to keep them all year long and bring them each week for ski school.  It will be preloaded with all the days that they are skiing. If your student is skiing on other days besides ski school they should be able to use the RFID card and have it loaded for the day.  If they forget their card or lose it there is a $5 replacement fee.  Please keep track of these cards and make sure your student has them each week of ski school. This means that the tickets only work for the time of our scheduled skiing and will not extend for the rest of the night when staying and skiing with family like past years.  Parent and sibling passes will be for the same ski time as the student passes.

Parking area for buses They have designated lanes and parking for the buses so getting in and out should be much easier for everyone.

School Area Behind Rental Shop One of the biggest changes is they now have a designated school area that is just behind the rental shop.  They have two big storage containers with shelf storage for gear, paver area with heaters, benches and tables.  This is where kids will unload and take their gear.  No gear will be taken to the lodge this year.  If you bring food from home it needs to stay in this area since they are not allowing outside food and drink in the lodge.  This area is where kids will change, store their gear and relax when not skiing.  The lodge is still open with the restaurant if they want to purchase food and eat in the lodge.

Parent and Sibling passes Parent and sibling passes will be available for this year for $30 each.  We will have a sign up form for each week so that Kelly’s knows who is with our school.  There has been a lot of abuse of these passes in the past and Kelly’s so we are working to reduce that for them and keep this privilege.  You must sign up on the form each week that you plan to attend, the form will be available the week of that ski day.

Kelly Canyon Rental Agreement If your student is renting equipment from Kelly Canyon then a rental agreement needs to be signed after you sign your student up for ski school.  The link to the rental agreement can be found at the top of this website.  If you have multiple students renting for ski school the agreement only needs to be signed once.

Signups AND payments must be completed before Dec 15th, there will be no late signups this year due to getting everything to Kelly Canyon before their deadline.

Sign ups are closed
