Reservations are closed for the season
Our season is late December through early March. 
Late December dates are typically added in mid-December when we are confident the ice will be ready. 
​Early March dates, as weather permits, are added about a week in advance. 

​(For club membership / renewals - see Membership tab)


Try Luge!  Reservations

  • Reservations help us have equipment and volunteers ready for the number of folks visiting us.  Cancellation and other policies are linked here.
  • All sliders must have a signed liability waiver form (signed by parent/guardian for those under 18).  The online waiver link is on the confirmation page and in the confirmation email, and there is an 'Invite' link you can forward to other members of your group. 
    ​Note: The invite takes you to a view of the order with a Participant Info section. You click Add Detail to enter the slider's name, click Save, then Add Detail again to see the waiver link for that slider.

          ​
  • In this 2 hour session, you start at the bottom of the run and work up the public section of the hill as you learn to control the sled.  We teach sliders young (5+) and old!  You need to be physically able to lay down & get up from ground level.
    ​
  • For sliders age 16 and up, $30 plus payment processing fees. 
  • For sliders age 15 and below, $20 plus payment processing fees.​

  1. Click Add Reservation, select a number of tickets, choose an available date, and use the dropdown below the calendar to set a session time.
  2. Click Add to Cart, and complete payment to confirm the tickets.
  3. On the confirmation page, enter each slider's name in the Participant Information / Add Details.  Click Save.
  • Click Add Details again to be prompted to sign your liability waiver (and as parent/guardian of sliders under 18).
  • There is a button to copy an Invite link that you can send to other adults to complete their waivers. 
  • There is no WiFi at the hill - please ensure your group all sign waivers ahead of time!

​Tried Luge?  Return for Timed Sliding!

If you slid this season, and will be in the area on one of these race dates... join us for two timed slides in the public area, be cheered, and perhaps stand on the podium!
  • Fruit Cup Sat Jan 17, 2026.  Arrive by 2:45pm, for 4pm race.  Registration closed.  
  • Almost Sundae Cup Sat Jan 31, 2026.  Arrive by 11:45am, for 1pm race.  Registration closed. 

Or Luge UP!  Advanced Introductory Luge Reservations

  • In this 3 hour class (limited dates and small class size) you have the opportunity to slide on 3-4 short segments of the hill, particularly on the very top section, including pulling out of the handles at the top start building.  So that you can focus on sliding, we have a volunteer taking photos (group and individual) to be put on a shared drive for folks to download later.
  • You must have already slid in a Try Luge public session (same day is fine), braking and steering successfully around the cones, and want to try something more. Preferably you tried the left turn into the finish lane, but this is not required.​
  • You must be in shape to carry the sled.  We won't be going bottom to top in one big walk, rather over several stages - nonetheless you will overall be carrying the sled up the 280' elevation, and back down again.
  • You must be mature enough to reliably follow safety instructions.  Class is limited to adults (18+) and permission of the instructor.
  • Each slider must have a signed liability waiver form, as with all our programs.​​​
  • $125 per slider, plus processing fees.  Class size is 4-6 sliders. 
  • By reservation: Contact club by email for available dates.​

Private Parties

Do you want the luge track and coaching staff all to yourself?  Make a booking for your private party!  This could be a lesson for one, or a group of up to 20 sliders.  For two hours the run, bonfire and instruction will be yours.  Private groups are $375 (+ processing fees).  Use the button below to see available times.  Please contact us by email before purchasing to ensure our volunteers are available for your group.  Typically Saturday evening and Sunday afternoons work the best, but we can be flexible.

Sponsor a Youth Club Membership (2025-2026)

Copper Sponsor (2025-2026)

$250.00

Your sponsorship helps our non-profit club (~40 years!) keep sliding open and available. In addition to the 18x24" business sign with logo at the track, and mentions on our Facebook page, your name/business will also be specifically recognized at races.


We want every child to compete and take a memory home - whether a participation award or a medal for being on the podium! - regardless of their ability to pay. Your sponsorship enables us to have zero club race fees for participants, purchases medals, and helps provide for the club potluck that follows the race. 


Every child competes from at or below where they have trained on the track. This means a few more starting gates and a little extra work for the race officials, but it keeps the youth safe and having fun.
