Snow School Uniforms

Skiers are in blue, riders have black pants with a blue jacket. 

The outer layers (jackets & pants) are shells, so plan your layering accordingly for the upcoming season. Longer term, Full Time staff will also be given a rain poncho/jacket for those wet West Coast storms.

The pant lengths are all the same, HOWEVER, there are ways to make them longer & shorter, yay! There is RED stitching along the bottom seam that can be removed to make the pants 5cm longer. There is also an elastic button system on the inside (as seen in the pictures) to shorten the length. These buttons are on both sides to ensure equal length all around. There are male & female cuts to the uniform 

Uniforms are Helly Tech® Professional – click here for more details on the technology. Helly Hansen is VERY committed to Sustainability, find out more details here

Due to this commitment to sustainability, their method of waterproofing is a little different from traditional (and harmful to the environment) Gore-Tex. Oil, dirt & salt will affect the waterproofing, so please take good care of your uniform.

Helmets, name tags, gloves and your safety manual are also considered part of your uniform and must be worn/carried with you at all times.

Pickup Location: Springs Building 

What to take with you: Your active employee pass

Uniforms will be available for pickup on designated dates, with priority given to snow school employees. 

Washing 

You can bring your uniform into the Springs for a trip to the cleaners and this should be done frequently. Outer jackets may start to look “wet” on the outside sooner than Gore-Tex models, but the waterproof membrane is underneath that, so you should still be dry on the inside. 

Rain Jackets

Longer term returners will be offered rain jackets.

Newer staff won’t be offered rain jackets but may go back and ask for one when the first rain operations day is forecast and they are scheduled.
