Welcome to Snowhawks Raven!

Now in its 26th season in Toronto and 23rd season in Ottawa, Snowhawks Raven Ski & Snowboard School has developed a reputation for quality, safety and fun.

Add to this a super group of qualified instructors, our very own chaperons, a variety of the best mountains, a special atmosphere and you have the reasons why our members return year after year. We offer a range of programs for youngsters, teenagers and adults which include:

• Instruction in the Snowhawks Raven Ski & Snowboard School
• All lift tickets (Toronto Wednesday Adult excluded)
• Return travel from resort area via luxury coach
• Special event days… races, mogul competition, “Big Air,”
  turning derby, end of season parties & much more…
• End of season Student Evaluation Report
• Discounts at Sporting Life and Nordica in Toronto and Tommy & Lefebvre in Ottawa

Our personalized attention to each member’s progress & our stress on supervision are what parents appreciate most about the Snowhawks Raven children and teen programs. Of course, kids love having fun, so at Snowhawks Raven we ensure that all are treated to a great deal of it! Our Wednesday adult group has come to appreciate the combination of excellent instruction and an ambiance which only Snowhawks Raven offers.

We invite you to read on about our Christmas, Mid-Winter and Spring Break programs as well as our Adult Getaway for 2010. As Directors, we look forward to meeting all new Snowhawks Raven members at our promotional events this fall, and also on snow!

“As parents of our own Snowhawkers, we certainly love watching our kids improve their skills. Equally rewarding is seeing the camaraderie and independence which develops over the course of the season. Making new friends, conquering a new hill, learning a better way to turn and listening to their never-ending stories… that’s what we enjoy in our kids’ Snowhawks Raven experience and we know you’ll enjoy in yours.”
