Who here goes on the school ski trips? I think they are fun, every year we have an overnight trip to stowe or smugs and we ski for 3 days. Its cool becasue i get to ski with the kids who claim shit they can't do(retarded shit like a DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND!!!ONE!!!11!). This year my trip will suck, the guy that runs it said that "He didn't think we liked the long bus ride to stowe" Which is retarded, we all just sleep on the bus and doesn't affect us.

So now this year we are going to Gore, for 35 bucks more. I am not going to pay 350 bucks to stay in state and ski at a small state run mountain and sleep in a cheap hotel bed with another guy. Last year we paid $315 and stayed in a nice lodge (Red fox, for those of you that live around stowe) and we had 3 pow days in vermont with our own beds.

My friends and I are going to skip it and go on our own trip for less. My question to you SG is, do you have school trips?

2 years ago a big group from my school went to whitefish MT. it was a shitload of fun even without alcohol and ganj. Our ski club's advisor is chill as shit which made things even more fun.

ya school trips are so much fun!! get way too drunk every nights, and then pul yourself out of bed early to get the first shuttle (or walk) to the mountain! Whenever I get the chance I always go. As you mentioned, it's also fun to ski with people that you normally wouldn't ski with, and laugh at the ones that claim all year like DUDE i hit like the BIGGEST jump evaarrr!! and then end up not going in the park, or wrecking themselves ahahah

the ski trips at my high school are awesome. they have a trip to stowe, one or two trips to sunday river and a senior trip to jay peak. they're a blast, we leave friday after school and stay in a hotel with a bunch of friends and stuff. the bus rides are fun b/c we watch movies and stop for fast food and it's an all around good time. i can't wait for them this year

ya same here, Ski trip was soooo much fun, and it is a shame that we go to gore this year. I say screw that.

This years itinerary:
Leave at 6am
go to west mountain
go to the hotel in glens fall and stay in room all night and share beds.
go to gore next day
hotel thing
go to gore ski a HALF day
eat pizza
go home

Last Year's itinerary:
Leave at 5am
get a full day of skiing at bromley (Bromley is a fun mountain IMO)
Sleep on the bus ride to the lodge
Wake up to see it snowing 3 inches an hour (And continued all night.
Have a night filled with vaporizing weed out of a lightbulb and watching movies and eating delicious dinner
get to bed around 12
wake up at 7
ski all day in the knee deep pow pow (and chest deep on mainsfield) at stowe
Same as the night before
EVEN MORE FRESH SNOW! full day of skiing at stowe
sleep on the bus till fastfood stop
smoke some bud and eat KFC and McDonalds
Sleep.
Get home at 12 and sleep some more.

Over all our trips are SO much fun. Forgot to include how we box out the gondola's at stowe LOL.

so that sucks a lot, your last year thing was sick. it's really cool that they went to two different mountains on the same trip.
and bromley is such a fun mountain, me and some friends went there and it was so warm we skied shirtless haha.

well if you go with just a couple of friends, the trip will cost more per person so be warned. your school gets group discounts so maybe they couldnt get the same deal with stowe this year.

my high school always tried to get trips from maine to vermont for a trip to jay peak and stowe. never happened in the 4 years we tried.

its a bullshit story. let me first say that skiing doesnt even make the top 15 in the 15 most dangerous sports in america.

now, our club was in the red before because of people getting hurt, a friend and i saved it for 2 years. last season some kid who was a part of the club but went on a DIFFERENT day, hit a tree and has permanent spine injury. now, because he was a PART of the club his actions acted for the whole club itself. and im betting he never took lessons. like most kids dont at my school.

another thing is that they canceled it durring summer break and didnt tell us anything about it.

We have one trip a year to Killy. Pretty fun. We stay in a really nice lodge, with hot tubs, and everything, and we ski for 3 days.

but that blows about your trip. Too long of a bus ride? Seriously?!

it was actually a problem with money, we get endowments every year and we didn't get anythis year. Also the place we stay at brought the price WAY up, like $200 more, they actually raised there price last year, but since we have been going there for over 20 years they gave us a brake. How much do you pay to go to killy? i love Killington and that might be a good place to go instead of gore.

last year we went on a trip to okemo in january, fun trip, but in the hotel we stayed at there was another school staying there, i remember getting food in the lobby the one morning when i saw a kid from the other school wearing an EC headwear hat and a jiberish hoody, i thought to myself theres no way this kid isnt on NS, so i walked up and greeted him with a friendly "How do you get to chads gap from the bottom of alta?" he responded "Ski patroll blew it up!"  NS callout worked!  he told me his username but i forget it,  didnt expect to see a fellow NSer in the same hotel with a bunch a gapers from either of our schools

My school has a 150 kids (30 in each grade) and we're a bit separated from the main school which has 2000+ and we go to whistler every january for 3 days. Its awesome because we're such a tight group and everyone knows eachother. Its something like 250, 300 with everything included I think

our school has the dumbest ski club i have ever seen.

every friday there is a $7 bus to 7springs which is 50 minutes away. they have to report back to the bus at 9:00 and it is mandatory that they ride it home.

so all the gaper kids ride the bus and anyone who can actually ski/snowboard just drives up so they can go crash or party after skiing instead of riding the bus back to the school.

the club is so full of fail

I think it's about $310 or something. Maybe even less. It's a pretty good deal.

damn, that would be a sick solution, Killy is only like 30 minutes further than bromley from where i live. Do you know lodging info? I am going to email my ski trip coordinator. He might like this alternative.

Yeah it's a great place.

Sorry, but to be honest I have no idea of the name of the place we stayed last year. And I won't know till November. But my best advice to you and your ski trip cordinator, to get a good deal, is look at the local places(as opposed to chain hotels/lodges). They usually will give a great deal if it's a big group.

Good luck meng!
