• A group ski or snowboarding lesson led by Glen Eden instructors (choose between either activity upon arrival)

Rules & Eligibility:

• This activity is open to all UTM students, staff, faculty, and librarians – regardless of fitness or experience level.
• All participants must complete and submit the required waivers — including the RAWC waiver, the vendor’s waiver, and the photo/video consent form — prior to the event.

How to Prepare:

• Register early for the event – note, spots are extremely limited.
• Please carefully review the Safety & Risk Awareness webpage before your visit.
• Dress in layers. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating mid-layer (like fleece), and finish with a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
• Wear warm, non-cotton socks, and bring an extra 1-2 pairs should you need them.
• Choose proper winter accessories: Waterproof gloves, a warm hat or helmet liner, and a neck gaiter or buff help retain heat and protect from wind.
• Avoid loose jewelry or dangling clothing attachments. These can get caught on equipment or lift chairs.
• Bring protective eyewear. Ski goggles or UV-protective sunglasses improve visibility and protect against snow glare.
• Bring your own lunch, snacks, and a reusable water bottle.
• Bring a small bag for personal items.
• Check the weather forecast and any event updates (@utm_athletics on Instagram).
• Arrive at the RAWC Lobby at least 15 minutes early to ensure an on-time bus departure. Upon arrival, please check in with a UTM Moves Crew Member wearing an orange uniform.
• Complete and submit the required waivers — including the RAWC waiver, the vendor’s waiver, and the photo/video consent form — prior to the event.
