Volunteer Work Deposit
Each family is required one refundable work deposit each season.
Purchase your Volunteer Work Deposit before your complete your athlete registration. Positive parental support is core to our program. Families are encouraged to get involved with activities and volunteer. The deposit is credited at the end of the year if volunteer hours are fulfilled.
Volunteer Opportunities Include any of our events. Events, including: Golf Tournament, Movie Night, Ski Swap, Donor Functions & Events, Races, Competitions, Fun Events such as Surf Classic. You may not be able to find an event coorealted with your athletes current program, that is ok.
Program Coach to Athlete Goals
Grand Targhee Ski & Snowboard Foundation follows the recommended PSIA, US Ski & Snowboard, and USSA guidelines. Our goal is to have an athlete to coach ratio that does not exceed 7 athletes per coach.
Ski Passes
Pass prices are not included in GTSSF program fees. Grand Targhee Resort passes must be purchased directly through Grand Targhee Resort. Athletes participating in Nordic are required to have a Teton Valley Trails & Pathways Nordic Sticker. A Grand Targhee Resort, Nordic pass is encouraged.
GTSSF will not be hosting programs on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year's Day, so our coaches and families can enjoy that time with their family and friends. We do intend to provide make-up days for all participants for those three days based on coaches' and athletes' schedules. Look for an email from our coordinator with opportunities for make-up sessions.
Event Transportation
GTSSF vans will be available for the winter season. Shuttles or other rides will be coordinated by coaches and race parents based on where athletes attend school and the needs of other teams. Transportation is never 100% guaranteed. Travel expenses are not included in program fees.
Event Deposits
An event deposit is required for each athlete participating in the competition. Event deposits are due the Thursday prior to each team competition. If you do not complete your event deposit prior to an event through Ski Club Pro, you may be asked to do so at the event. If you fail to make a deposit for an event, you will not be allowed to participate in upcoming events until the prior event deposit and the upcoming event deposit are made online.
Event Deposits are applied to all competition fees, including but not limited to registration, lift tickets, additional coaching time, mileage, per diems, and lodging. A balance for these fees paid by GTSSF in advance for participating athletes is due on the invoice. If a participant’s payment of fees and other expenses is not received by payment deadlines, that participant may have program and/or competition privileges revoked until the account is made current.
Payment Plans
If an athlete anticipates participation in multiple competitions over the course of a single season, that family may prefer to set up a payment plan monthly or bi-weekly to cover the estimated costs. An additional invoice will be sent after each event for any balance owed to account for the difference between the deposit and the actual cost. GTSSF does not mark up any event costs.
