I was talking to my friend about college apps and one of the main things that came up was the importance of extra-curriculars, Particularily after school clubs. There is already a ski club that takes kids to the local hill once a month after school but this is different. There is atleast 5 real terrain park oriented skiers in each grade. My plan was to found the club and then like once every two weeks on friday order pizza, watch edits, go on NS, and later go to the local ski hill together. I thought it was a good idea but am looking if any of you have something like this at your school or if you have any tips/ideas for what to do at the club.

I've always had this idea in my head. The only thing with it, is that most schools 1.) Require an advisor in order to have an actual school club and 2.) Are very picky on what they allow as a club. My mountain bike club only got started because a few awesome teachers were diehard bikers, and we can literally ride to a trail system from the school. The effort it takes to get a ski club off the ground is quite large, let alone a club based on a smaller subset of skiing

I always envy the racers. Going out every day skiing, having their "sport" to go to every day. Whenever someone asks if I play a sport, I just tell them I do my own skiing training and stuff for a sport. If schools had park teams, that went to comps and stuff, I think freeskiing would grow massively. Also, it would be fun as fuck to shred park all day with your friends

my school has a 'ski club' type deal called ski bus where they meet 5 times a winter and take a bus up to the mountain. it's run by teachers and definitely not free-ski oriented but i'm thinking if you did something more broad like that you could get teachers on board to sponsor it.
