By Truman Martin – Entertainment Editor

Ms. Turcotte is a science teacher as well as the Ski Club advisor at Law. She is currently hard at work getting the Ski Club up and running for the first time in two years. Advocate Entertainment Editor Truman Martin interviewed Turcotte about the club.

Truman Martin: What made you want to become the Ski Club advisor?

Mrs. Turcotte: An advisor was needed and I was asked by students who knew that I was a skier.

TM: When did you start skiing?

MT: I have been skiing since I was a kid (about 10). I grew up in Canada where winters were long so we had no choice but to embrace winter sports.

TM: What is your favorite part about Ski Club?

MT: I enjoy spending time with students in a non-academic setting. I also enjoy being able to experience new mountains/resorts.

TM: How many ski trips are planned?

MT: This year we will do three (maybe four) day trips. Unfortunately, our overnight trip to Smuggler’s Notch will not be happening this year.

TM: What are the challenges with planning ski trips this year?

MT: COVID, COVID, COVID!  Many restrictions due to COVID. Price increases. Many resorts are not booking groups and not giving group prices. Some resorts are requiring vaccines to eat in their cafeterias.
