Please note...
	Winter Lodge offers Fall, Winter and Spring group lessons. After the Fall series, continuing students signing up for Winter or Spring lessons are given priority registration. Any spaces remaining after that are given to new students. Space for new students may be very limited due to large enrollment. We regret that all new students may not be able to be placed as there may be more applications than spaces. On the day of registration, you will be asked to provide as many days of the week you can come for a lesson, along with the earliest time you can arrive on those days. When we are trying to place you into a class, we will start with your first choice day and keep looking through all the days you provide to try to place you in a class. The more choice of days you give us on your application, the better chance we have of placing you. We will then ask you to call back the following week to find out if you were placed in a class and the day the class is scheduled.
