We will be riding two buses to the ski area. One bus will be for grades 4-5 and one for grades 6-8. 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, but the bus may not be supervised so you should not leave valuables on the bus.

You should dress in layers. You should wear long winter/wool socks under your boots.

The lodge usually has a snack bar with food for purchase, but we encourage all students to bring water and something to eat with them to the mountain.   

Below is a schedule for the season:
