Who needs gear?

After School Participants and Michigan Tech students taking ski or snowboard classes;

Please make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of your class starting time to allow time to pick up rental equipment, if needed.

If you are renting for the first time and have not paid, or you have not yet been fitted for your equipment, please attempt to visit Mont Ripley prior to your first day of class. If that is not possible, please arrive more than 30 minutes ahead of time! Come to the ticket office for any payments.

Please be patient with the office and rental staff as we prepare for classes to resume this week. The first week is always the most difficult.

ALL CLASSES MEET IN THE RACE ROOM!
The race room is located just to the Northwest of the chalet. Pick up rental gear first, inside the main entrance and then head straight there. Michigan Tech Students can swipe for a day pass at class.

For questions of concerns, please contact the ticket office at (906) 487-2340
