KILLINGTON LIFT PASS

If you haven’t already, please contact Lee Cohen ([email protected]) and let him know what clinic you are attending to purchase your lift pass. 

• Fundamentals Clinics (Co-ed and Women’s Only) ? No lift pass needed
• Jumping Mini-Clinic ? 1 Day Lift Pass for Saturday (pick up before 1:30pm)
• Intermediate Advanced Clinic ? 1 Day Lift Pass for Sunday (pick up lift pass before Sunday)
• 2 Day Camp ? 2 Day Lift Pass (pick up lift pass before the weekend or over lunch on Saturday)

If you are in a clinic that needs a lift pass, you must have the pass before your clinic starts (with the exception of the 2 Day Camp, as you can pick yours up over lunch on Saturday).  The pass office doesn’t open until 9:30am, so you will need to keep this in mind for picking up your pass before the start of your clinic.  Intermediate / Advanced participants will need to pick up the lift pass before Sunday in order to have it at the start of the clinic.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of pedals should I have on my bike?

We recommend you ride whatever pedals you’re most comfortable with. However, we have found that it’s much easier to learn the majority of the skills with flat pedals if you have some experience on them.

Do I need pads?

Pads are not mandatory at any of our clinics or camps, but we highly recommend you bring (and use) them.  We’ve seen a set of pads give our participants that added level of safety and comfort needed for them to have a light-bulb breakthrough moment.

Should I tip my instructors?

While gratuity is not required or expected,  it’s certainly appreciated by your instructors! 5-10% for each guest is Industry Standard for exceptional service, support, and expertise. Unless you’d like to tip separately, instructors divide tips among themselves.
