Jonathan Law’s Ski and Snowboard Club is hitting the slopes this winter season.

With five trips coming up this season, the club has a lot in store for its members.

“The Ski Club is all about having fun with your friends while having fun on the slopes,” senior club president Michael Bagdasarian said.

The first trip is going to be Saturday, January 5, to Mount Snow. All trips take place on Saturdays.

“We are always looking to grow the club,” said Bagdasarian. “By adding more people, it makes the cost of the bus a lot less.”

The overnight trip is the major excursion of the club.

“The overnight is super fun but you have to go on two trips prior to that within the club,” said Bagdasarian. “It is two nights and three days. We spend the Friday afternoon on a coach bus for the six-hour drive, but we try to play some games on the bus.”

For the overnight, the club leaves after school and arrives at Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont for the weekend.

“It is so much fun,” said junior club member Theresa Rosato. “It allows us to have more time for skiing than a regular trip”

Junior club member Laxman Mohanarajan agreed.

“It is a great bonding experience and I love hanging out with my friends,” Mohanarajan said.

There are plenty of adult chaperones and new members can take lessons.

“I am really excited to try skiing,” junior member Ryan Tyimok said.

Skiing is a very popular sport in Connecticut and Ski Club allows students to participate with friends and peers.

“We do so much more than ski,” said Rosato. “There is time on the bus to play games and on the overnight we swim in the hotel pool and eat ice cream.”

The Ski Club is looking forward to this season and prospective members can sign up anytime.
