What it actually looks like
Our note
If you teach in School District 71 or 72 this is by far the cheapest way onto the mountain, and it is built to fit the school day rather than run past the bell. Nordic is ten dollars less a head and gentler for a first time group.
What the children do
A heavily discounted day trip for School District 71 and 72 schools, from $29 a person at Nordic and $39 a person at Alpine, built to fit inside the school day. Chaperone tickets are free at one per ten students, and a return bus within the Comox Valley can be added for $650. Lessons are mandatory for all educational school groups.
Cross country ski on the Nordic trails or ski and ride on the alpine slopes, with a lesson as part of the package.
Good to know
Washrooms are on site and there are cafes and a cafeteria, but nothing is published about a room a class can eat a packed lunch in, or about where a bus parks. Ask about both, and note that vehicles need good winter tires and chains on the parkway.
