Frequently Asked Questions

The Beartown Ski Team is growing every year. Last season the team had over 40 children of all ages and skill levels.  You should be able to find the answers to most of your questions below, but please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need more details.

  • How do I sign my children up for Ski Team?

    Complete the one page application. CLICK HERE

    You can mail the form to Beartown or scan it and email it to Skibeartown1@gmail.com.  

  • What type of payment methods do you accept?

    You can purchase a Ski Team Pass through the website store. You can also pay via cash or check. 

  • Do Ski Team members need a lift ticket?

    Yes. Ski Team Members need to purchase a lift ticket in addition to the cost of the team.  The cost of Ski Team covers the lessons, racing, trophies etc. 

  • How old does my child have to be?

    Children on the Ski Team are required to be 5 years old. 

  • Are there any skill requirements?

    Members of the Ski Team are required to be able to use the lifts independently. If they are not able to use the lift on their own, they must be accompanied by an adult. 

  • What time does Ski Team have to be at the hill?

    Ski Team meets from 10am to 2pm.  Skiers are encouraged to come with enough time in advance to be ready to ski at 10am. Lunch is around noon and they can bring their own or buy from the cafe.  

  • What if my child can't make every Ski Team lesson?

    Did you know that Olympic Gold Medalist Andrew Weibrecht won his first race at Beartown?  He is part of a tradition where children and their families put time and effort into Ski Team and they fall in love with skiing. Most make it a lifetime sport. We understand not every child can make it both days on all weekends. We simply encourage as much participation  as possible. Like all things, you get out of it what you put into it. 

  • Do we need to get special equipment?

    Beartown does not provide rentals. You can visit local ski shops (try Viking or Maui North in Plattsburgh). They will set you up with the basics. Talk to the coaches if you have specific questions about your child's equipment. Helmets are required.

  • Can I get a refund if my child isn't into it?

    We encourage children at all levels to stick with the team once they are on it. The lessons are meant to be fun and challenging. Practice makes progress.  Talk to the coaches if you have concerns. A refund would be considered on a case by case basis. 

  • What do I need to know about races?

    The goal with racing is for everyone to have a little fun. Everyone is welcome to race so parents, dust off your old skis and give it a go! 


    Races are typically a combined score of two races. The first race is before lunch, the second race follows the lunch break. Awards follow the second race.  For an 11:30am start, registration opens at 10am. 


    Members of the Ski Team are strongly encouraged to race.  Finishing the race at their own pace is a win!
