FAQ
Take a lesson!!! Like anything, you’ll improve the most when you receive some guidance. The best way to become a good skier or snowboarder is to take a lesson from a qualified instructor. You’ll safely learn more in a 1 hour lesson than you will all day on your own. Make sure to register for the lesson. It’s a separate $15 payment.
- Obtain proper equipment. Be sure to have your ski or snowboard bindings adjusted correctly. You can rent quality ski or snowboarding equipment at Perfect North Slopes (included in registration fees).
- Dress in layers. Layering allows you to accommodate your body’s constantly changing temperature. For example, dress in polypropylene underwear (top and bottoms), which feels good next to the skin, dries quickly, absorbs sweat and keeps you warm. Wear a turtleneck, sweater and jacket.
- Be prepared. The weather has a mind of its own. Bring a headband or hat with you to the slopes, 60 percent of heat-loss is through the head. Wear gloves or mittens (mittens are usually better for those susceptible to cold hands).
- Know your limits. Learn to ski and snowboard in control.
- If you’re tired, stop skiing. Stop before you become fatigued. Injuries usually result from fatigue. Have a seat and enjoy the people around you. Most of all, have fun.
Here is our list of recommended items for you to bring for skiing or snowboarding in order to guarantee a fun first day on the slopes.
- Hat – if your head is warm the rest of you is likely to stay warm.
- Waterproof Gloves/Mittens – mittens are warmest.
- Goggles/Sunglasses – Goggles are strongly recommended on cold or snowy days for warmth and increased visibility.
- Jacket/Parka (water resistant)
- Synthetic or wool base layers for top & bottom – it’s better to be warm than cold, you can always shed layers. Synthetic materials help to whisk moisture away from your skin. Once again, do not wear cotton as a base layer.
- Snow/Water resistant pants – very important, your 1st day will acquaint your bottom to the snow, keep it warm & dry.
- Warm, dry socks – No cotton. Wear only one pair of socks.
- Sunscreen – SPF 15 or higher
- Lip Balm
- Snack, Fruit, Energy Bar
- Trail Map – available for free in the lodge.
- ID, Wallet, Cash
