What should I do when I arrive?  There will be ENOCH signs directing you to the place in the lodge where you will be greeted by ENOCH board members who will give you your lift tickets.  Don’t forget your receipt.  If anyone in your family is taking a lesson, it’s best to arrive no less than (1) hour prior to the lesson start time.
