Junior Training Rules

Categories, Costs and Payments

Mini Marden’s is for children aged 5 – 8 who can take a T Bar, snow plough, stop
confidently and ski down to Klosters. The cost is CHF 780 per child per week.

Junior Training is for children aged 8 – 14 who are confident red run skiers. The cost
is CHF 560.

Additionally, as we have some children aged 6-8 who are very confident after many
weeks of skiing, there is a transitional group of a standard between Mini Marden’s
and Junior Training. The cost for this is CHF 560 per child.

The variation in price is due to the increased instructor/child ratio needed for the
younger skiers. Prices include lunch on all five days, elevenses snacks & drinks on
the mountain, welcome drinks and prize giving.

Please note: it is important that children meet the standards outlined above for their
category. If that is not the case and an extra instructor is then required, this will incur
an additional cost.

There is no need to pay a deposit and applicants will be invoiced in due course.

Junior Training Rules

Helmets must be worn at all times while on the ski areas by all children taking part in the
Junior Training.
Training bibs or start numbers must be returned to the Club at the end of the week or after the
race on Friday. There will be a charge of CHF 25 payable to Marden’s Club for any which do
not come back.
Any decision regarding ability is entirely at the discretion of the Marden’s trainers. While we
try to put your child in a group in which they are content, ultimately the tuition is in the hands
of specially selected instructors from the local ski school. The instructor’s decision is final.
Photographs of the Junior Training week might appear in the Club Review, Club website and
the Klosters local press.
All parents of children joining Junior Training and Mini-Marden’s must agree to the Junior
Training Code of Behaviour.

All participants are required to have appropriate winter sports insurance, which must include
amateur racing and off piste with no restrictions or caveats.

Terms and Conditions of Junior Training and Mini-Marden’s

Skiing involves an element of risk which all parents must accept as inherent in the sport. The
ski instructors, Junior Training Volunteers and Marden’s Club cannot take responsibility for
every action and decision your child takes when skiing on the mountain. This includes among
other things control of speed, direction, overtaking and where to stop. It is known that
accidents do happen as a part of skiing and by joining a Marden’s course you will be
accepting the risk involved.

Marden’s Club uses Saas Ski School or other qualified ski instructors to provide the service
as advertised in the training programme. They are not employees of Marden’s Club and
therefore when your child is under their care your contract is directly with them. Should you
be involved in any dispute involving an instructor where the dispute involves insurance then
this will be direct with the organisation that provides their insurance and not Marden’s Club.
The Junior Training Committee members and Junior Training Volunteers are fellow parents
and Club members who are giving up their time as volunteers for the benefit of all
participants in the courses and the Club. They are sensible, caring Club Members but not
professional instructors or in loco parentis and parents must accept that neither they nor the
club can be held responsible for any accident that may occur during training.

I agree to the above terms and conditions, and I understand that I am responsible for
ensuring that my child/children has/have appropriate winter sports insurance.

I understand that Marden’s Club, Junior Training Volunteers and its appointed
representatives, are not responsible or liable for any accidents or injuries incurred to
participants and/or any other third parties during the course of the training week.
