Ski Program for Residents

Every year the Town of Shandaken has a winter recreation program at Belleayre Mountain. This program allows Shandaken residents to ski for $25.00 on Sundays. You must sign up between Dec 4th - 11th. If you are a skier be sure to take advantage of this fabulous opportunity! Here is a link to the page on the town website with the form you will need to join the program: Shandaken Ski Program. I copied the details below from that page. See you on the slopes!!

Open to All Onteora Residents
The Town Recreation Program for the 2010-2011 riding & skiing season will work as follows:

Lift ticket & Lesson: $25.00 per person. (The town will not be responsible for picking up the $5.00 portion of the ticket).

Kick-off for this season will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2010 in the Lower, Discovery Lodge. Sign up will be from 8am to 3pm. Participants will have from December 4 to December 11, 2010 to sign up for the program. If you are not signed up by then you will not be eligible for the program until next season. (If you mail in your application, then it must be post dated for December 11, 2010 – NO exceptions. The $5.00 charge per swipe card must be included. You must provide us with a document with proof of residency and a valid picture ID i.e. Driver’s license.

Each resident that signs up for the program will receive a swipe card, loaded with 13 Sundays @ $25.00 per ticket. Also included will be 13 Sunday swipes at $25.00 for your guests to ski with you (1 per each Sunday). Previously, Wild Wednesdays were offered to all residents. This season each Wednesday, Non Holiday or Holiday period is a $20.00 ticket day therefore Wild Wednesdays will not be offered. There will no longer be 3 bonus days during Christmas week. Christmas day is a $25.00 day.

Swipe cards will be good at any ticket location! There is a mandatory $5.00 fee for swipe cards. Please bring payment when you sign up for the program in the form of check (made out to the NYSDEC), cash or credit card.
Equip Yourself

You are encouraged to provide your own ski equipment, but If you need to rent, we will offer you some great deals (Just mention that you are with the Onteora Recreation Ski Program) at the Belleayre Mountain Ski Shop or Jimmy’s Belleayre Ski Shop.

(Prices are not confirmed for Belleayre & Jimmy’s ski shop as of yet). (Seasonal rentals may be available, call for more info).

*If patrons do not sign up between December 4 and December 11, 2010 they will not be eligible for the ski program until the following season. There will no longer be any ticket purchases on Sunday mornings. $5.00 in the form of credit, check or cash must be turned in with your application for the swipe card fee. (Checks must be made out to NYSDEC). Please bring valid picture ID and a bill from home (or mail in a copy with your application) to prove you are a resident in the Onteora District.

Participants must return forms & payment directly to Belleayre Mountain and not to the Town Hall or Rec Departments.
