Security Deposit

No deposit is required. However when you arrive at the hotel, you will be asked to leave your card details upon check in to cover any damages that arise during the stay.

Personal Safety 

All The Ski Week events are extremely safe. However, as you will find yourselves in unfamiliar surroundings, we recommend that you follow some basic precautions. We’ll lay it out simple for you:

• Lock your rooms and lockers when you leave and store expensive possessions, travel documents and extra cash in a hidden spot.
• Stay with other TSW guests and staff whenever possible.
• Avoid parties and venues not on the itinerary or recommended by TSW
• Walking home in the cold alone is not a good idea. No one wants to leave the party alone, so buddy up some friends to accompany you home!
• Wear wear clothing both on and off the mountains. Refer to our Essential Packing List for the full list of everything you will need.

Onsite, The Ski Week has the means to contact authorities when necessary. In the event of an emergency, please find a crew member immediately.

Personal Travel Insurance

By booking with us, you are not covered by a personal travel insurance policy. It is your responsibility to have personal travel insurance for the duration of your trip and that it covers activities such as skiing. We highly recommend that all guests purchase such a policy.
