Participants in the group’s lessons are organized first and foremost by ability level. Once a participant has successfully performed the required skills safely, confidently, and consistently, they progress to the next level. If not able to do so, participants may not move to the next level. As a result, individuals who sign up together may not progress at the same rate.

Requests may be made, but are not guaranteed, as this is dependent on instructor availability. Instructor assignments are consistent unless otherwise unable to accommodate.

Uplands uses a progressive 5-level system, designed to allow participants to progress on their own accord. Criteria to constitute a levelling up are to be able to safely, confidently, and consistently perform all skills in the level they are currently placed.

All participants in all programs receive a report card at the end of the lesson. Report cards are to exhibit what skills and drills were addressed in the lesson. Not all skills may be practiced in a lesson. It is recommended to bring the previous lessons’ report card to give a starting point and information. Report cards, however, are a small representation of the participant’s ability. It is important to note that a lesson is a constant and complete evaluation. Progression and regression are natural, as with weather, athleticism, age, etc. Progression is not the same for all, and can not be defined or measured based on a timeline.

All participants are recommended to utilize their lift ticket time to practice the skills learned in the lessons, outside of lesson time. Practicing outside of lessons will accelerate the abilities and learned skills.

The Apprentice Program is the next natural step for any participants who have reached the Advanced level. For more information, contact the Snow School Director at snowsupervisor.uplands@golfnorth.ca

All lesson/program/camp participants are evaluated upon their first visit to Uplands. It is important to note that regression between seasons may occur and factor into level placement. Please carefully review all email correspondences from the Uplands Team prior to your lesson.

One-off private/semi-private lessons are a one-shot, which is not part of a preset program or camp. These types of lessons are most often a precursor to participation in a set program. By design, the on off private lessons provide more flexibility if unable to commit to a set program.

Uplands consists of designated runs: 2 green, 1 blue, 1 black, along with a terrain park. For daily notice, review our calendar for up-to-date information.
