    IMPORTANT REMINDERS: Please sign up for the Remind notifications so you recieve all important notices sent out form the Ski Club:

    Text: 81010

    Class code: @ski4fun

    Students who have never skied or snowboarded before are required to pay and arrange for a lesson on the mountain 2 weeks ahead of the trip date. Parents can contact the mountains directly to arrange for lessons. Helmets are mandatory! 

    Students are also required to bring their own equipment on the ski trip as rentals on the mountains can sometimes take hours. Students can visit Potter Brothers in Fishkill or Ski Haus in Brewster for rentals. The sooner students rent their equipment, the better chance of them getting something they are comfortable with.

    Please don't hesitate to email Mrs. O'Connell, Ski Club Advisor if you have any concerns or questions.

    See you all in November!
