  • Get changed after school and board your assigned bus quickly so we can leave on time .
  • Books and backpacks can be brought on the bus. A great time to get your homework done on your way there!
  • KNOW THE CODE ~ by Skiing and Snowboarding in a safe manner. Always Ski or Board with a group or a friend.

TRIP SCHEDULE. We depart at 2:45 PM from HMS (Back entrance) at return at 9 PM to HMS (Front entrance).

Certified Ski helmets and goggles are REQUIRED to be worn by all skiers and snowboarders. If you do not have your helmet and goggles you will not be able to board the bus to attend the Ski trip that evening. NO Exceptions!

POSTPONMENTS. Ski Club volunteers will contact you either Wednesday or Thursday morning. Please don't not call the office. If school has been canceled or dismissed early, the ski trip will be postponed. If there is a delayed opening, the trip will still be happening unless you are notified (again, by our ski club ) of the decision not to go.

CHECKLIST. Remember! HELMETS and GOGGLES are required. Here's a quick list for you: ski pants (not jeans), wInter/thermal socks, jackets, sweaters, hats, tissues, lip balm, hand warmers. Don' forget to pack a snack from home or bring some $$ to purchase food at the ski lodge.

VOLUNTEERS. Parent Volunteers are needed to run this club. We need you so the club will not be disbanded. Please consider volunteering your time to this great club and you don't necessarily need to be at the slopes. Call Mark Lofthouse at 877-7974 or email Mark if you would like more information.
