What Must Athletes Do Before Arriving?

What Must Athletes Bring?

In addition to their ski equipment and clothing they need to stay warm:

  • Mask or face coverings.

  • Ski Passes visible on the athlete.

  • Patience (We will adapt with evolving protocols as best we can, but we anticipate changes throughout the season).

Please leave additional equipment, clothing, food or beverages in the car. These items can not be stored in the Club House or Lodge.

COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS

We ask that parents/guardians and athletes become familiar with our COVID-19 protocols. Complete details are here. Some important highlights to keep in mind are: 

  • Ski Wentworth will be checking passes before any skier is allowed to ride the chair, given proof of vaccination was required.  Please ensure your athlete has their passes visible.
  • All WSRC members will be required to wear a mask while waiting in the lift line and on the chair.  This is consistent with all Ski Wentworth programs presently. 
  • Indoor venues have limited capacities so be prepared to eat your lunch in your vehicle in order to stick with our schedule and return to practice on time. 
  • In light of current restrictions, the clubhouse will not be available to athletes unless accompanied by a coach for the purposes of video/programming instruction.  Please ensure your athlete is dressed and ready to ski when dropped off.
  • The WSRC and families must follow the Ski Wentworth guidelines.

OTHER HELPFUL INFO FOR PARENTS

On Hill Communication

Whatsapp - Timely communication between your parent rep and parents of athletes can be sent through Whatsapp. We ask that you keep the messages to the important details to be respectful of all those on the thread. Check out our helpful Whatsapp guidelines. Not in the Whatsapp group for your athlete yet? Connect with your parent rep: 

For small children, consider writing your cell phone number on their ski pass.

Camp Refunds

For those impacted by recent camp cancellations when the hill was closed, we are in the process of facilitating this by e-transfer and it should be completed by the end of the month. Thanks for your patience.

RACE INFORMATION

Given the current restrictions preventing competitions in the Maritimes, our race schedule will be subject to change in the weeks ahead. Farlagne remains hopeful that the restrictions will change in advance of their race scheduled for Jan 15 / 16. If restrictions evolve at a future date which would permit our athletes to attend and compete we will open up registration and advise Sr. Team members at the time.
