Snowflake Club
The Snowflake Club runs well-organized weekly ski trips for boys and girls ages 8 through 16. We have 23 trips planned this year, so there will be plenty of chances to have fun at different ski areas, like Alpine Valley, Wilmot Mountain, Cascade, Devils Head, and Chestnut. New this year are 4 Friday night trips to Wilmot! (contact us for more details)
Buses depart for the closer areas of Wilmot and Alpine Valley between 7:30 and 8:30am and return between 5:00 and 6:00pm, depending upon your town's bus stop. (The farther areas of Cascade, Devils Head, and Chesnut are all day trips from 7:00-7:00 )

Have Fun While Learning or Improving Your Skiing and Snowboarding
While our primary purpose is to provide a fun-filled and exciting day of skiing, we place emphasis on members taking lessons. Beginner members must take lessons until they demonstrate that they can ski safely and under control. Our ski school is certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA), and we use their teaching models for our members.
We award letters in the form of patches to show the kids' ability and progression from beginner to advance skills: 1 to 10 for skiers, A to F for snowboarders. Lessons are included in the trip fees.
Adult supervision is provided on every bus, on the slopes and in the ski lodge. One supervisor is always in the lodge to answer any questions and to assist members with any problems. Our staff gets to know the kids which really adds personalization to the trips.
Dress Right
Williams Ski Haus keeps expanding its selection of the best brands in kids' clothing, featuring Obermeyer, Spyder, North Face, Orage, Roxy, Karbon, Marker, Patagonia, 686, and more. Plus those extra accessories like goggles, hats, helmets, T-necks and long underwear that make the difference between comfortable and cold.
