Ski Trip

Start planning today to be a part of our annual ski trip to Cataloochee Ski Area this winter. The dates are Wednesday, January 6 through Friday, January 8, 2010.  Please fill out the attached interest form to help us plan.

 

For new families, the ski trip is a time for our families to get together.  Each child will need to have someone responsible for them while on the trip. The school will not be providing chaperones. This person will have to sign the rental agreement and liability forms.  You can visit the ski area’s website at www.cataloochee.com.  

 
 


Ski Area

The cost for skiing will be $93.00 again this year.  This will cover the ski rental, a group t-shirt, and lift ticket for all day Thursday and Friday.  If you would like to rent a snow board instead, the cost for the two day rental is $133.00 plus a $60.00 deposit. A $20.00 non-refundable deposit will be due shortly.  Also, once the final amount is due and submitted, the ski area will not issue us any refunds.
