Last year we restarted a Blue Mountain School tradition of going on a ski trip, and we are happy to announce we're doing it again this year very soon: Friday, January 15th, to be exact.

With a base of between 20" and 60", there is no better time to go.

The venue is our closest ski resort - Winterplace (www.winterplace.com) - which is just a couple of hours away. It's a great family resort with plenty of options that can include the kids. So without further ado, here are your options:

Ski hire (up to 12 hours), lift ticket & 90-minute lesson: $35
Snowboard hire (up to 12 hours), lift ticket & 90-minute lesson: $50
Own equipment, lift ticket (up to 12 hours): $35
Snowtubing (up to 9 hours): $35
Snowtubing (1pm to 5pm or 5pm to 10pm): $25
Two hours of snowtubing plus ski hire or own equipment lift ticket: $50
Two hours of snowtubing plus snowboard hire & lift ticket: $65

The reason these prices are so good is because we're going as a school group on a weekday. You won't find prices like these anywhere else.

Last year's event was a lot of fun for all involved, and we expect nothing less this year. If you'd like to come, please be sure to let us know, and pay Shelly in advance at the school.
