Snow Sports

Snow Sports is a winter term class that is for the student who needs and wants to be outside every day. We spend every afternoon on the slopes of Crystal Mountain enjoying the beautiful Northern Michigan winter. This is a great class for those that are experienced skiers and riders as well as those beginners who have the desire to learn. We will head to Crystal Mountain every day right after lunch. This will also be your afternoon activity as well. We will be reading and reflecting upon a book called “On the Edge of Nowhere” about surviving life in the wilds of Alaska. We will also be studying about the ski industry, general strength and conditioning, and skiing and snowboarding techniques. Students are required to have their own equipment in good working order and wearing a helmet is required. There will be a cost (to be determined based on this season’s prices) to cover your Crystal Mountain season ski pass, transportation to and from the hill, and supplemental food costs.
