The Jonathan Law Ski Club is getting ready for another year on the slopes. Advocate Staff Reporter Delaney Morrin interviewed one of the club’s Advisors, Ms. Turcotte, to get insight into the Ski Club and their upcoming ski season. 

Delaney Morrin: Where does the Ski Club go on trips?

Ms. Turcotte: We try to rotate between various mountains in Vermont and Massachusetts, for example, Killington, Bromley, Stratton, and Smugglers Notch.

DM: Why should students join the Ski Club?

MT: It’s a great way to get outside and be active in the winter.

DM: How does the Ski Club benefit students?

MT: I think the main benefit is that they get to ski or snowboard at much bigger mountains with their friends.

DM: What are the advantages of skiing mountains outside of Connecticut?

MT: The views are incredible, and the resorts have multiple lodges, much more terrain, incline, and variety of trails than anything in Connecticut. And, they get the opportunity to become better skiers.

DM: Why do you enjoy being Advisor for the Ski Club?

MT: I love to ski, and I enjoy giving students an opportunity to experience skiing at bigger resorts outside of Connecticut It is also nice to get to know some of my students in a non-academic setting and to meet other students that I haven’t had in my Chemistry classes.
