Equipment Selection

Proper selections in clothing and equipment can help to ensure that your students have the most rewarding experience possible with Dearborn Hts. Ski Club. If you have any questions regarding outfitting your children, please know that your questions are always welcome. In order to help maintain adequate warmth in cold temperatures, we recommend several light layers of clothing, rather than heavy, bulky clothes. Recent advances in clothing technology allow for much lighter weight options than were available only a few years ago. To provide maximum comfort, students should have the following:

Thermal Underwear
Helmet
Turtleneck Shirt
Sweater
Ski Pants
Nylon Parka
Ski Socks
Ski Hat
Rope Tow Mitts

Equipment is as important as clothing when it comes to having a fun day with Dearborn Hts. Ski Club. Properly fitted boots, skis, poles and snowboards can make the difference between an OK day, and a great day. We recommend that your student be present when choosing equipment. This will ensure that your fitter can provide you and your student with the best setup. In addition, skis and snowboards are sized differently today than they were in the past. A trained equipment specialist can make recommendations based upon the ability level of your student, as well as their height and weight and likelyhood for growth. Please make sure all articles of clothing and ski equipment are marked clearly with your child's name to help prevent them from being lost. Upon picking up your child at the end of the day, please check to make sure that he or she has all of their own equipment. We understand that any student can misplace items during the day. We collect any lost articles from the resort, as well as any items left on the bus, and store them at the Dearborn Hts. Ski Club office for your convenience. You can call the Dearborn Hts. Ski Club membership information line at to inquire about lost items.
