Ski Club / Cost & Sign-Up
Start here
What it costs, and how to join.
Registration is full, and a bus waitlist is open. Everything you need is on this page.
Two payments, five steps. Sign up by November 15. Everything you need to complete is on this page.
There is a bus waitlist. Our bus is full for the 2027 season.
Need a bus seat? Join the waitlist using our Bus Waitlist Form. We'll contact waitlisted families after registration closes on November 15.
Driving your child separately? You can still sign up — the waitlist is only for the bus. Register with Whitetail directly using our group code, WTMDSC5fri, and email skiclubmd@gmail.com so we know your child is coming. Step 4 below shows how.
Please don't send the $50 deposit unless we offer your child a bus seat.

Cost and sign-up
Estimated costs.
Ski Club is run by volunteer parents and priced to cover its costs — mainly the charter bus, plus pizza and snacks.
There are two parts to the cost: one paid to Ski Club, and one paid directly to Whitetail.
Estimated $300 per student
The charter bus for all five Fridays, pizza on the way up, snacks on the way home. The bus is split across the group, so the figure firms up once we know how many are coming.
Includes a $50 deposit, which we collect only if we offer your child a bus seat.
Includes the $50 deposit paid at registration — see step 3 below.
Slope Days package
A lift ticket for each trip, rental equipment, and the hour-long lesson, at a group rate. Families register and pay Whitetail directly. The 2027 price is $352 for all five weeks, covering lift, lesson and rental — or $175 for the lesson only if your child already has an Epic Pass (plus $144 for Whitetail rentals if needed).
Estimated total: about $650 per child — about $300 to Ski Club plus $352 to Whitetail. If your child already has an Epic Pass, about $475 ($300 plus Whitetail's $175 lesson-only option), or about $620 with Whitetail rentals.
How to register
Five steps to join Ski Club.
Sign-up deadline: November 15. Complete the Ski Club form and the $50 deposit by then.
Review the details
Read how a Friday works, the costs above, the FAQ, Safety & Responsibilities, and the Code of Conduct before you commit — ideally with your child.
Join the bus waitlist
Registration is full. If your child needs a bus seat, join the waitlist using our Bus Waitlist Form — one entry per child.
We'll contact waitlisted families after registration closes on November 15.
Driving your child separately? You can still sign up — skip this and go to step 4.
Complete the Ski Club form
One form per child: registration, emergency contacts, sizing, ability level, and any allergies we need to know about.
Don't send a deposit
Please don't send the $50 deposit unless we offer your child a bus seat. If we do, we'll tell you how to pay.
Questions? Email skiclubmd@gmail.com.
Pay the $50 deposit
$50 per child confirms your child's place. It is not an extra fee — it is credited toward your final Ski Club cost. Pay it by Venmo to , and put your child's name in the payment note.
The deposit is non-refundable: we set the bus and the per-student cost from confirmed enrollment, so a late withdrawal raises the cost for every other family.
Your child's place is not confirmed until both the form and the $50 deposit are in.
Register with Whitetail
Separately, buy Whitetail's Slope Days package on their site. Choose “5 Weeks” from the Session drop-down — it starts on 3 Weeks — for $352 (lift, lesson and rental). At checkout, type our group code into the Special Conditions box in the Medical Information section, so your child is placed with our group. Whitetail's release of liability is part of the same checkout.
Waiting for a bus seat? Don't register with Whitetail until we offer you one. Driving your child separately? Register now with our group code, and email skiclubmd@gmail.com so we know your child is coming.

Before the first Friday
At least one parent or guardian and your child attend the mandatory preseason meeting on Friday, November 13, 3:15 – 3:45 PM, in the Parish Hall, and the signed Ski Club waiver must be on file. The waiver link is sent to registered families.
Tell the school in writing about all five early dismissals, and make sure anyone other than a parent who will collect your child — including a Ski Club chaperone — is on your approved pickup list. Ski Club sends the school a list of each week's participants.
The one thing families miss. Whitetail and Ski Club are two separate registrations. Booking with Whitetail does not hold a bus seat — while registration is full, bus seats go only to families on the waitlist, if seats open up. If you need the bus, join the waitlist and wait to hear from us before booking with Whitetail.
