Snow Valley Ski merit badge program

Snow Valley Mountain Resort is proud to offer the Winter Merit Badge program.

We believe this program is the best way to introduce Scouts to the fun of winter sports, not just to earn their merit badge, but also to increase their awareness and appreciation of the local mountain environment.

This program is offered to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts only. It is our goal to ensure as many children as possible are introduced to the sport of skiing or snowboarding.

We sincerely hope you will join us this season for the Winter Merit Badge program. We promise your experience with us will be fun as well as educational. For the scouts who are at the next level or have earned your Winter Merit Badge you can still sign up for the Merit Package and take an intermediate or freestyle lesson.

The prices noted on the price sheet are available to Scouts only. A minimum group size of 10 is required to qualify for the Winter Merit Badge program. For every 10 paid Scout lift tickets, we will offer one (1) free adult leader or chaperone lift ticket (rentals/lessons not included).

On the morning of your event:
  • Upon arrival please check in at the Group Sales Office. To avoid congestion in the office, please have your group members wait outside the office area until you have completed check-in.
  • Please have one of your chaperones proceed to the rental department with Scouts.
  • After the check-in process is completed, you will have one hour to return any unused tickets or make any changes to your order. One hour after you have checked in, your order will be closed and any revisions will be compensated with vouchers. Scouts should be dressed accordingly and ready to report to the rental department and then to the mandatory safety meeting. Troop leaders must be present at the safety meeting.
  • Once you have completed check in and have your rental equipment, meet on the upper deck facing the snow fifteen minutes before the lesson (8:45 and 10:45).
  • After the safety meeting, our merit badge counselor will direct the Scouts to their group lessons and location.
  • Upon completion of the group lesson, the Scouts will be released to the Troop Leader. The group is then free to spend the balance of the day skiing or snowboarding on their own.
  • The Troop Leader should arrange to leave the blue cards with Group Sales to be picked at approximately 3:00pm in the Group Sales Office.
  • The Merit Badge Counselor will sign the cards. Snow Valley does not carry blue cards.
  • Prior to departure check the weather and road conditions and remember to always carry snow chains in your vehicle. Weather in the mountain can change rapidly.
  • Refunds will not be given due to weather conditions, upon or after your arrival.
  • Follow the Scout motto and be prepared for anything! Always dress warm and in layers, especially hands, feet and head.
