  Here at Northern, Ski Club is offered and is directed by Mrs. Houle in room 201.

  “ We are an organization where we plan Friday trips to local ski clubs and go have fun and ski,” Houle said.

  Ski club is a fun place for students to join and encounter leadership from their own peers and make new friends.

  “Curtis Isaacson is a huge part of Ski Club, and has been for many years,” Houle said.

  Ski Club is more than just going to ski, and being committed to a season. “It is a lot of fun and it is really chill, if you want to go skiing one week you show up, if you don’t, no big deal,” Isaacson said (‘16).

  Ski Club is offered to anyone who would like to join. “Anyone can join Ski Club, and it is never too late to join, you can come at any time,” Houle said.

   There is a fee to participate on Friday ski trips, but you just pay for the Fridays you want to go. “There is a three dollar fee for each week, which covers lifts and other fees like that,” Houle said.

  Along with the three dollar weekly fee, you can bring your own skis or rent from the hill. If you rent from the hill, the cost will be more for the rental. “Lots of people rent from the hill, the price isn't too bad depending on how many people go, we might have a group discount,” Isaacson said.

  Since it is never too late to join Ski Club, there will be meetings weekly for anyone who would like to join. These meeting cover locations and dates. “We will try to have meetings every week or every other week to talk about what trips are coming up and things like that,” Houle said.

  This year, Ski Club is adding  new locations to the club. If local ski clubs do not satisfy you, you can attend the new ski trip in February. “We are planning a trip to Blue Mountain in February, which will be very exciting,” Houle said.
