Hello Ski Club!

I have great news! We have booked room Hammond 220 for our next ski club meeting! This meeting will now start at 7:30PM, not 7:00PM as previously stated and it will be exactly a week from today on Wednesday, October 15th. This is a great time to pay dues, pay trip deposits, pay full trip payments, ask any questions you may have, learn more about ski club Thon, inquire about proforms, or just simply meet some awesome people. I hope to see you all there!

The Early Bird Member deadline for our Killington trip is quickly approaching so make sure to get those deposits in! 

Just to recap, meeting on October 15th at 7:30PM, in Room Room 220 Hammond. See you all there! 

See you when the snow falls,

See you when the snow falls,

Hey guys! 

Can't believe that spring break is less than a month away! As it is approaching fast, I wanted to send out all the information I have as of now so you can do some planning. This itinerary isn't 100% complete and some of it is subject to change, however the flight information is definite. Please read it over so you know what to expect. I will update it with a room list and a list of drivers to the airport once that is finalized. Email me with room requests whenever you have them! 

There will be a pre-departure meeting at 7:30 on February 26th where we can discuss where everyone will be staying Saturday night (since our flight leaves from Philly early Sunday) and how we will get to the airport. I will email everyone when we have a room for the meeting. If you live in the Philly area and think you would want to host, I recommend talking to your parents before the meeting so you know if this is a possibility. 

Finally, if you haven't paid your final balance please please come to my office hours tomorrow from 1-3 or Jacob's on Wednesday from 10-2 in the HUB to pay.

Email me with any questions or concerns but otherwise start getting excited!!! See you all soon!

Best,
