Ski Club

Registration for Ski Club is now open!

The Holy Spirit Ski Club will grace the rolling slopes of Afton Alps for 6 Friday sessions this winter:

  • Session 1: Dec. 20

  • Session 2: Jan. 10

  • Session 3: Jan. 24

  • Session 4: Feb. 7

  • Session 5: Feb. 21

  • Session 6: Feb. 28

Due to the bus driver shortage, Holy Spirit is unable to provide transportation. Participants will meet at Afton Alps at 4:30 p.m. to pick up tickets and assemble as a group. If you can’t get there that early, we’ll arrange another way to get your lift ticket.

Registration is open to all Holy Spirit Students and their families (i.e. parents and siblings can get discounted tickets as well).

This year we will do all ticketing a la carte, so you can choose as many or as few of the dates as you wish. You must pre-register to get the discount tickets and guarantee yourself a ticket as Afton does limit the number of day passes issued. With advance notice, you will be able to change dates but no refunds will be given (exceptions made for extenuating circumstances).

If you have season passes to Afton Alps, you do not need to register, but please email Jerry for inclusion on the mailing list for changes, permission forms, chaperone requests, etc.

At this time, you only need to select the number of sessions you wish to attend and if you need rentals or not. Specific dates, permission slips, rental forms, and virtus training will be confirmed via email after registration. Please complete a registration for each participant.

Registration closes on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

Food
