Good Faith Policy for Race Team
As we all venture into uncertain times, in a global pandemic, increasing Michigan temperatures and unpredictable ski area management we want to make sure you feel that your investment in ski racing is valued. Our Good Faith Policy will help you feel safe in enrolling, training and investing in ski racing with WinAlpine Race Team.
Full payment is taken at the time of registration. Full refund is only possible prior to the first day of training in the enrolled program. Race team’s first day on snow is tentatively scheduled (weather dependent) for the first weekend in December. (Location TBD). Tuition fees are non-refundable after the first day of training, regardless of racers participation on the first day.
In the event that the minimum number of on snow days (training & racing) is not met during the season a pro-rated amount will be returned to each participant. The proration will be based on 40% of tuition being non-refundable and the 60% balance of tuition will be prorated on the number of days we were / are able to be on snow subtracted from the minimum number of days expected to be on snow. The number of snow days is a combination of training days and race days. For Example: the number of minimum days for Race Team bronze was 36 days and Race Team Silver was 40 days for the 2024 season. The maximum (expected) number of days on snow was around 75 days including championship events.
For example: if Race Team Full can only offer 12 training or race days (1/3) in the season then 24 (2/3) training days would be refundable from the 60% balance ($1200) resulting in a $800 refund.
Example 2: if Race Team Max can only offer 20 training or race days (1/2) then 20 (1/2) training days would be refundable from the 60% balance ($1560) resulting in a $780 refund.
Our Good Faith Policy is applicable to all acts of God, Mother Nature and operation of resorts in our region.

Equipment fitting

This is the time to check your equipment and make sure it is all safe, sound and the proper size. We have great resources to help you make the right choice for equipment and get set up for next season. It is never too early to get your equipment ready for next season. If you have questions (do not be shy, it is better to prepare equipment now then when we have snow), email Martin Tichy or Scott Winquist a list of your current / last year equipment, your racers YOB, name, size and weight. Ski racing is made great when we make the best choices we can in order to prepare ourselves for future success.
