VAIL RESORTS GREEN RUN GUARANTEE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

DURATION OF GUARANTEE AND PARTICIPATION: The Green Run Guarantee is a limited guarantee currently offered pursuant to these terms and conditions (“Terms”) only during the 2022/23 Season (“Season”) at the discretion of Vail Resorts (“Vail”) when booked directly through its Ski & Ride Schools (“Ski School”) at participating resort locations in the United States (currently Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Heavenly, Keystone, Kirkwood, Northstar, Park City, Vail, and Whistler Blackcomb)(participating Resorts”) to beginner-level eligible skiers or snowboarders (eligible “Guest”, which includes parent/legal guardian of minor Guests). The Green Run Guarantee applies only to the designated green run or designated green runs specified by each participating Resort (designated “Green Run”); it is not offered at any other resort and does not apply to and excludes all other green runs. A participating Resort may have more than one designated Green Run. Please see Appendix 1 below for a list of designated Green Runs. Resorts may without obligation be added during the Season.

GUARANTEE: The Green Run Guarantee means that an eligible Guest will progress to one of the participating Resort’s designated Green Run(s) by their third (3rd) Qualifying Lesson at that Resort or they may take a fourth (4th) comparable lesson, as determined by the Resort in its sole discretion, at the same Resort during the same Season for free (limited “Green Run Guarantee”).

QUALIFYING LESSONS: For purposes of the Green Run Guarantee, qualifying lessons are those booked directly with Vail Resorts (third party bookings are excluded) and is defined as three (3) comparable, standard ½ or full day lessons (adaptive lessons are excluded), taken by an eligible Guest, within the same Season at the same Ski School at a participating Resort, concluding during the 3rd lesson on the designated Green Run (“Qualifying Lesson(s)”). Please see Appendix 1 below for a list of Qualifying Lessons. Eligible qualifying lessons may vary by resort.

FREE LESSON: If, at the end of the 3rd Qualifying Lesson, a Guest does not exhibit to the satisfaction of their Ski School instructor P.S.I.A. Level 2 - 3 skills and techniques or does not feel safe skiing/riding the Green Run, they may in accordance with these Terms redeem a 4th comparable lesson for free (“Free Lesson”). Free Lesson consists of one (1) full or ½ day lesson (subject to availability) and includes lift ticket, instruction, lesson taxes; excludes equipment rentals, and all other costs, fees and expenses. Free Lesson may be given on any green run at the Resort in the Ski School instructor’s absolute discretion. Regardless of any other terms to the contrary, for purposes of the Green Run Guarantee only and pursuant to these Terms, the Free Lesson: (i) has no cash value and may not be refunded, replaced, substituted or redeemed for cash or otherwise for any reason, (ii) cannot be transferred or assigned in whole or in part, and (iii) will be void and not rescheduled if Guest cancels, misses, forgets or for any reason fails to otherwise properly, promptly participate in whole or in part in the Free Lesson as scheduled, or otherwise fails to avail themselves of the Free Lesson.  

TO REDEEM FREE LESSON: Guest must visit the Ski School immediately after their 3rd Qualifying Lesson before leaving the Resort to schedule the Free Lesson at the Resort during the Season-- if not booked and scheduled that day, the Free Lesson will not be honored; no exceptions. A Free Lesson cannot be scheduled at a different Resort and cannot be carried-over into subsequent Season(s). There are no blackout dates, but all lessons (including Free Lesson) are always subject to scheduling availability, instructor availability, weather conditions and other factors such as terrain closing and/or Resort closing dates. If Guest for any reason fails to avail themselves of a Free Lesson, it will be forfeited and not (re)scheduled.
