The Jonathan Law Ski and Snowboard Club is headed into another exciting season. 

The club attracts many students into joining the organization by offering day and overnight trips out of the state. 

“My favorite part about being in the club is getting to go to Vermont with my friends and spend the whole day there,” junior Ella Jambor said. 

Every few Saturdays from January 4 to February 22 a ski trip will be held.

The trips range from locations throughout Vermont such as Mount Snow, Okemo and Stratton.

“I’ve always loved skiing, so the opportunity to go on trips with all of my friends was more than enough to motivate me to join,” senior Tess Rosato said.

As well as several day trips on the weekends, the club offers an overnight excursion to Smugglers Notch. Just like the other trips, Smugglers Notch is in Vermont.

This trip will take place from February 28 to March 1. 

In order to attend the trip, you are required to have attended at least two of the Saturday trips. 

This overnight trip to Smugglers Notch is a great way for club members to improve their skills and bond with their friends. 

“My favorite part about ski club is being able to go on the overnight trip in Vermont for the weekend,” sophomore Marissa Turner said. “I look forward to this trip every year because I enjoy hanging out with my friends while going off on our own to explore the mountain.”

Rosato is also looking forward to bonding with friends on this trip.

“Everyone is super close and we always have a great time,” Rosato said. 

Not only does the club focus on the ski trips, but they focus on assuring that club is a great experience for the kids.

“The Ski & Snowboard Club is all about enjoying the outdoors, getting some fresh air and exercise, but mostly having fun with friends,” club advisor Cheryl Lacadie said. 

Jambor sides with Lacadie by explaining how she enjoys the club dynamic. 

“Everyone in the club has so much fun and we all get freedom to do our own thing once we get to the mountain which is cool,” Jambor said. 

Independence is very much paid attention when organizing the club.

“The club is all about gaining independence with supervision,” Lacadie said. “The students can explore the mountain on their own, but must return to the lodge for check ins with the chaperones.”

The club intrigues many skiers, whether amateur or advanced, and is looked forward to each year by all of the members. 

“The club is perfect the way it is and there is nothing that needs to be changed about it,” sophomore Hailey Boyle said.
