Ski
Staff ...
TASC
is grateful to have a large dedicated group of adult volunteer
staff who see the great value of working with kids &
teens.
They care deeply about our young people and have a
strong commitment to help provide good, clean, fun filled
activities. Several have been staffing youth ski and snowboard
trips for 10-20 years. Many of our staff are P.S.I.A. 
(Professional Ski Instructors of America) Certified Ski
Instructors and participate in a variety of instructor
clinics.
We have a 1:10 staff to student ratio on our trips.
The staff are on the trips to make sure the student has
the best possible ski or snowboard experience.
They perform a variety of responsibilities for the
student skier or
snowboarder on the trip such as; helping get fitted
with the proper rental equipment, making sure they are in the
proper ski school class, providing further instruction after
the beginner completes the ski school class, providing
instruction for all other levels and supervising on the slopes
throughout the day.
On the overnight trips, the staff supervise evening
activities, take the students to their evening meal and make
sure each student is in her or her room by curfew.
Transportation
... Transportation
on TASC Ski and Snowboard trips is by DVD / video luxury motor
coach busses.
Occasionally, late model passenger vans are used, which
enables the trip to go even if there are not enough skiers for
a bus or the bus is full.
Because of our commitment to high
moral standards, we prefer not to show any movies on the bus
that contain profanity, vulgarity, excessive violence or
sexual content, regardless of rating.
Student provided movies are not shown on the bus,
unless a staff member, teacher or youth leader of the group
has viewed and approved the movie.
Lodging
...
Lodging
is usually quad occupancy (2 double beds per room) at well
known establishments such as Holiday
Inn Express, Days Inn, Comfort Suites (6 students per suite
with 3 double beds) or the slopeside Chalets (bunk beds) at
Seven Springs.
Some have an indoor pool, whirlpool, exercise room and
game room and rooms with refrigerator and microwave.
Meals
... On overnight trips, breakfasts and dinners while at lodging are
included. Many of
the meals are all-you-can-eat buffets.
Students should bring extra cash to purchase travel
meals and lunches.
Ski
School
...
TASC for Teens is a traveling ski school and is proud to be a member
school of P.S.I.A.
(Professional Ski Instructors of America).
Our P.S.I.A. staff who are certified ski instructors
offer ski pointers and tips at no extra cost.
We
Specialize in Groups
... We
do all we can to accommodate the needs of your school, church,
synagogue, scout or other youth group.
Why not save much time and work and have TASC organize

give you one FREE leader “Comp” for every 20 full paying
skiers on the trip. Individuals
are welcome on our ski and snowboard trips on a space
available basis.
