If you mail in your registration, please sign the liability release. Your child cannot be enrolled in an AVSC program without this signed release. As soon as AVSC receives your payment and completed registration form we will send you a voucher for your Aspen Skiing Company Season Pass. Anyone who registers online can print our their email confirmation as the AVSC voucher and bring it directly to any Aspen Skiing Company ticket office to purchase the participant's Season Pass. Please scroll down for information on passes.
Membership and Eligibility
All families with children registered in an AVSC program will be AVSC members. There is no local residency requirement to participate. However, because our programs are so heavily subsidized by local supporters, program fees for non-residents are typically 25% higher than listed. You may be asked for proof of residency to qualify for the standard fee. Non residents include those under age 19 whose families do not live year-round in the Roaring Fork Valley (participants from Redstone, New Castle, Silt and Rifle are considered residents as well). Non-residents also include those participants over age 19 who have not lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for 12 consecutive months.
Payment
Please make all checks payable to AVSC. AVSC also accepts Visa and MasterCard. AVSC will assess a $30 fee for any returned checks or credit card payments which are refused. Full payment of program fees is preferred. However, payment plans are available for SnoJourners, Challengers and Team AVSC participants. If you wish to set up a payment plan, please contact the AVSC administrative offices for more information at the number below.
Ski Pass
Once the mailed or faxed registration and payment are complete, AVSC will issue the registrant a voucher entitling him/her to the AVSC season pass offered by the Aspen Skiing Company. The participant and parent need to take the voucher to any ticket office and pay the Aspen Skiing Company directly for the pass. Anyone who registers online can print our their email confirmation as the AVSC voucher and bring it directly to any Aspen Skiing Company ticket office to purchase the participant's Season Pass.
IMPORTANT: Passes must be purchased by November 16 to receive the price of $144. Passes purchased after November 16 will cost $229.
Scholarship Information
AVSC believes that interested children should have the opportunity to experience winter sports regardless of financial situation.

For scholarship information for Base Camp programs call Susan Blakney, 925-2720 ext 105. For scholarship information for all other AVSC programs, call Kim Vieira, 925-2720 ext 104.

Refund Policy
Refunds are available prior to the start of the program and are subject to a $100 processing fee for competitive programs or $50 fee for any other Base Camp Programs. Through January 15th, AVSC will also refund fees for participant withdrawal due to medical reasons or family relocation. The refund will be pro-rated according to the date we receive written notification and will be based on 80% less $100 (or less $50 for Base Camp programs).
Any pass having been discounted through enrollment in AVSC must be returned to AVSC before the refund will be issued. Withdrawal for reasons other than injury, illness, or family relocation will be reviewed by the Executive Director and appropriate Program Director or Head Coach. Scholarship recipients will be expected to fully repay their scholarships prior to receiving any refund. No refunds for competitive programs will be allowed for withdrawals after January 15th.
Parent Work Deposit
Parent Work Deposits are an incentive for parents of SnoJourners, Challengers, or Team AVSC athletes to become involved with their child's program and fundraising events for AVSC. Work deposits are credited at a rate of $15 per hour. Hours worked above and beyond those required to cover the work fee are considered volunteer hours and are greatly appreciated. The deadline to submit hours for work deposit credit is April 30, 2008. Download the parent work deposit form as a PDF file by clicking here.
Base Camp Equipment Programs
Local businesses including Gorsuch Sports, Aspen Sports, the Alternative Edge and Gene Taylor Sports all offer equipment programs beginning in early November on a first-come, first- serve basis. Prices vary with age and type of equipment. These programs are very popular and tend to sell out quickly. Durrance Sports has a purchase/buy-back program - buy a set at a special price, then return it in reasonable condition in the spring and get half of the purchase price back. Call any of these shops for more specific information. Many other local shops also work with AVSC participants, so be sure to ask regarding their policies.
Gorsuch Sports is generously offering to subsidize equipment for some scholarship recipients. Please contact Susan Blakney at 925-2720 ext 105 if you think you may qualify.
Free Bus Transportation
Any child who is registered for SnoWarriors is eligible for free bus transportation from down-valley to Snowmass, Buttermilk or Aspen Highlands. Buses run every day of the SnoWarrior program and pick-up at the Career Center in Glenwood Springs, the new Crystal River Elementary School (Carbondale), El Jebowl, and the Basalt Middle School. To sign up for bus service download the form as a PDF file here or call Susan Blakney at 925-2720 ext 105. Participants must register for bus service before December 10. A chaperone will be assigned to your child for the season and will contact you a week before the program starts.
Code of Conduct
AVSC participants shall follow AVSC's Code of Conduct and conduct themselves in a manner that preserves their own safety and the safety of those around them. Participants shall not use offensive or inappropriate language. Participants shall do their part to maintain a cooperative atmosphere while participating in any AVSC Program.
- Code violators will have a written note sent home to their parents and a copy will be kept on file at AVSC.
- Second violations will lead to a removal of the offender's ski pass for a period of time deemed appropriate by both Aspen Skiing Company and AVSC.
