The Jonathan Law Ski Club is starting preparations for hitting the slopes for the first time since early 2020. 

The club attracts many students with a love of skiing. Amateur or advanced, the club accepts all and has a lot to offer to its members.

“It’s an opportunity to get outside and get some fresh air during the winter and have some fun with your friends, it’s good exercise,” said Ms. Turcotte, the advisor of the Ski Club. “I love to ski so I’m guessing that anyone who loves to ski would want to join.” 

The club has multiple day trips and is working on seeing if they will get their overnight 4 day trip to Smugglers Notch, a ski resort in Vermont. Other Skiing locations include; Stratton, Okemo, and Mount Snow, all of which are located in Vermont. 

Students who participate in winter sports can also join the club. Some who participate in both claim that it is difficult to balance school work, sports, and the club but if you do it right you can still participate and have fun.

“It’s hard to balance school, sports, and being a member of the Ski Club because sometimes school projects or sport events will fall on days we have a club trip,” said senior Gary Schulte, a member of the wrestling team and the Ski Club in the winter. “This causes me to have to move my schedule around, or sometimes have to miss a club trip entirely, but I still try to participate in the club as much as I can.”

The policy the club has is students are required to make it to at least two Saturday day trips.  

The club is pretty popular amongst students and typically fills up all of the seats in the coach bus they take on their trips. 

“Im looking into joining the club since I enjoyed the one they had back in middle school that we had at West Shore,” said sophomore Helen Chizmazia. “I just have to make sure that I have the time for it in my schedule and that I can actually make it to the various trips.”
