Brigades Programs

2009-10 Brigades Brochure

     For children ages 5-18, this is more than just a pre-registered, multiple lesson, educational program.  The Bristol Mountain Brigade Program is designed to take your skiing or snowboarding skills to a new level, meet new friends, and participate in a series of fun activities available only to Brigade participants.
     Students placed in classes based on age and skill level.  Class sizes range from 8 to 10 students.  The group of students remains with the same instructor through the duration of the program.  Let us know the first day of the program if your child would like to be placed with a friend or a specific instructor. 

Wee-Ski Brigade

Participants must be skiing at the intermediate level and be capable of skiing all intermediate (blue square) terrain.  Children must also be able to ride the Sunset, Morning Star, and Comet Express chairlifts without supervision.  The rate for the 5-7 age group reflects the small class size of six or fewer.  Snowboarding is not available for this age group.  Daily lessons are available for beginners.

Junior Brigade

Join a friend or make new ones.  Available to skiers and snowboarders ages 8-18, the Junior Brigade accepts all ability levels from the beginner to the advanced for either skiing or snowboarding.

Forerunners

For advanced to expert skiers, ages 8-18, Forerunners introduces participants to the basic fundamentals of ski racing as well as personal skiing development.  On March 13th, the Forerunners will finish the season by competing in the Bristol Mountain Race Club Championships.  Trophies will be awarded to all age groups for girls and boys.

Parkrunners

Parkrunners introduces 8-18 year old intermediate and advanced skiers or snowboarders to the terrain parks.  Basic skills of riding the pipe, rails, and big air hits are developed.  Safe use and etiquette within the park is stressed.  Participants will also be instructed in flat terrain and moguls.

Mogulrunners

Mogulrunners (part of the Freestyle team) is designed to introduce 8-18 year old intermediate and advanced skiers to freestyle skiing.  It is not designed for those wishing to compete on a regular basis, but if participants develop an interest in competing in local events, the Freestyle Team coaching staff will provide coaching at those events.

Mountainrunners

Mountainrunners, ages 8-18, is for advanced to expert skiers and riders looking to do it all.  Try moguls, racing, terrain park and just plain skiing and riding.   This 12 week program was designed for the young skiers and riders who would like to expand their skills to a variety of snowsports.

Brigade Regulations

Register early for reduced prices and limited class sizes.  Program rates increase starting December 1, 2009.

Classes are determined by age and skill level.  Class sizes range from 8 to 10 students.  Requests for placement with friends or a specific instructor are accommodated to the best of our ability on the first day of brigade.  The group remains with the same instructor throughout the duration of the program.

Purchasers of the regular-rate programs will receive a season pass valid on each designated day of the program and the make-up day at the end of the program.  Season passes are issued in the Guest Services Office during regular business hours.  Brigade passes are nontransferable.  Replacement cost for lost passes is $25

Important:  The Bristol Mountain Assumption of All Risks Agreement as well as the Parent Agreement (if participant is under the age of 18) must be signed by the participant and/or parent prior to the first day of class. Participants will not be able to participate in the Brigade Program without this completed form on file at Bristol Mountain. 

Participants must check in at the Snowsports School/Info desk in the Main Lodge between 8:30 am and 9:30 am on the first day of the program. 

Classes are held rain or shine.  If severe weather prevents classes from being held, an announcement will be made on the snow report at 585-374-1100 along with rescheduled dates.

A make-up ski or snowboard day is extended to participants.  The make-up day does not include coaching and is scheduled the week following the completion of each program.
