We are happy to announce that our ski season will be starting with equipment pickup the week before February vacation! Below are rules and details for participation.
No inappropriate language at any time.
Be at the school ready to board buses at 9am.
Be ready to board the bus back to the junior high at 4 pm.
No horseplay allowed.
No cutting the t-bar line.
Do not use the t-bar unless you have had instructions and lessons on using it.
Skiers must ski under control at all times.
Use caution when overtaking other skiers.
Ski on trails you are assigned to.
Follow instructions from all instructors and chaperones.
Take care of your equipment.
Follow all bus rules.
Wear masks at all times while on the bus.
No music allowed while you are skiing.
Stay out of the lodge unless using the bathroom.
Helmets are recommended for all skiers, but not a requirement.
Tickets will cost $20. Please have cash ready to give to an instructor at the buses. If paying by check, please make it payable to Mattanawcook Junior High School.
We will be riding 2 buses to the ski area. One bus will be for 4-5 grades and one for 6-8 grades. One bus will stay at the ski area at all times. You will bring your equipment on the bus with you. You can wear your ski boots to the ski area or change into them on the bus. You can leave your belongings on the bus. The bus may not be supervised so you should not leave valuables on the bus.
You should dress in layers. You should wear heavy socks under your boots.
We encourage all students to bring something to eat with them to the mountain.
First time skiers will be given lessons and instructions on how to ski safely. New skiers are not permitted to use the t-bar unaccompanied until an instructor has approved them to do so.
Below is a schedule for the season:
February 15 after school until done | Pass out skis to 4-6 grade |
February 17 after school until done | Pass out skis to 7-8 grade |
February 25 | First ski trip |

Please have a ride ready for the day you are picking up skis because we cannot guarantee that you will be able to make the late bus.
Please contact Mr. Carmichael (acarmichael@rsu67.org) if you need to make arrangements to attend a day to get skis not designated to your grade level (example: siblings in 4th and 8th grade).
