When you arrive at Greek Peak, the bus will be met by a Greek Peak Representative, who will take attendance, and distribute your RFID Go Pass and rental card (if needed).

Lessons:

All lessons meet at the Lesson Meeting Spot located next to the Alpha Slope (Beginner’s Chair Lift). If exiting the rental building, proceed directly across metal bridge. Please be there 10 minutes before lesson time.  You must attend the section that you registered for to receive credit:

• Friday/Saturday
  • Beginner Lessons start at 1:30PM
  • Intermediate and Advanced Lessons begin at 3:30PM
• Sunday
  • Beginner Lessons start at 11:30PM
  • Intermediate and Advanced Lessons begin at 1:30PM

Students must allow enough time to check in, change into their skiing attire, check out equipment if they are renting and get out to the lesson area. Please allow 45 minutes to complete this process.

Student Responsibilities:

• To finalize registration for Greek Peak Skiing or Snowboarding, you must log onto the Greek Peak College Ski Program website for Cornell students. Instructions are under "Modules" in Canvas.
• All students who sign up for this course are responsible for checking their university email/Canvas for messages. Communications like reminders and class cancellations will be sent/posted here. Please check your messages the day of your class.
• If a student wishes to drop this course to avoid a failing grade, they must do so before the last meeting day of their class. Once the last day of the class has ended, university policy requires that any students still registered may not be dropped and must have a grade posted for them. To drop the course students must contact Greg Brown at Cornell (ggb26@cornell.edu) and Kim Hughes (skiandride@greekpeakmtnresort.com). Failure to contact both parties will prevent you from properly dropping the course.

Fees:

Students pay all course, lesson and transportation fees directly to Greek Peak. See Greek Peak website: https://www.greekpeak.net/ski-ride/school-programs/college-pe-programs/. Greek Peak processes all refunds. Students seeking any refunds must contact the College Ski Program Coordinator Kim Hughes (skiandride@greekpeakmtnresort.com). 

Refund Policies

There are no refunds after the drop deadline.  

Medical Refunds

A consideration will be given for medical conditions (occurrences) that prevent an enrollee from participating in or completing their ski/snowboard course. The consideration is as follows: If a student is injured and not able to continue in the course, they must send a request, including medical documentation of illness/injury (physician’s statement or hospital report, containing diagnosis and treatment), to the College Program Directory, Kim Hughes (skiandride@greekpeakmtnresort.com), immediately following the incident and prior to the next scheduled class. The amount refunded will be a prorated portion of course fees (lesson and rental fees) based on the number of required sessions remaining after the occurrence date of the medical condition preventing participation. All Refunds will be issued in the form of a credit card “credit” for the equivalent of the unused services of Greek Peak, less Greek Peak’s $20 processing fee and Cornell P.E.’s $50 service fee.

The transportation cost is included in the class cost and is nonrefundable.
