Special Note for all Lessons
Everyone taking a lesson must have a lift/area use ticket valid for the time during which their lesson occurs. The ticket must be purchased before the lesson is booked. It is recommended that you arrive 2 hours in advance of the lesson you wish to take if you need to pick up rental equipment. This extra time allows you to be sized appropriately for your equipment and ready to start your lesson on time. The person booking the lesson should know the full name & birthdate of the individuals that will be receiving the lesson.
