The MCS Ski Club is excited to announce plans for the upcoming season. Students in grades 4-12 may participate on Friday evenings at Catamount Ski Resorts. The four-week program, offered at a discounted rate, includes transportation. The tentative dates for the trips are: Jan. 26, Feb. 9, Feb. 16, Feb. 23
Skiing and snowboarding will begin in January, based on snow conditions. Students will leave school at 2 p.m. and return at 10 p.m. Students should pack a dinner to eat in the lodge.
“We’re excited to revive our long-tradition of a ski club at MCS,” says co-advisor Terry Burton. “This program provides an affordable avenue for students to learn a life-long sport.”
Basic Options:
Lift tickets for the four-week program: $90
Rentals for the four-week program: $94
Lessons for the four-week program: $58
Although the minimum purchase is a four-week pass, more seasoned skiers/boarders may opt for a summit pass, night-skiing pass or weekday pass. Season rentals are also available. Both options may be found on the MCS group sign-up link. Students purchasing season passes can also join ski club trips and utilize MSC transportation on Fridays.
Important: sign-ups are available until December 1. This is a hard cutoff date imposed by Catamount. No sign-ups will be accepted after this date. The discounted program is available only to students and may not be extended to other household members.
