           Pinkerton Academy will be sponsoring a ski program this winter at Gunstock Ski Area. This is a school-sponsored activity for students, which is chaperoned by faculty and staff at the Academy. The program will be run on Friday nights starting Friday, January 11, 2008 and running for the next four weeks. Students bring all their equipment to school and leave immediately after school on Friday afternoon. They will ski until about 8:45 PM and then will return to Pinkerton Academy at approximately 10:00 PM.

DATES: The program will run for four Friday evenings. If one Friday is cancelled due to poor weather, it will be rescheduled at the end of the season. The four dates scheduled are Jan.11, Jan.18, Jan.25, and Feb.1.

SUPERVISION: All ski trips will be chaperoned by Pinkerton Academy faculty and staff. They will be on buses to and from the ski area and will be present at the ski area all afternoon and evening.

TRANSPORTATION: All students who participate in this program must ride the provided coach to and from Gunstock Ski Area. Any student who violates this rule will be subject to suspension or dismissal from the program. This means the forfeiture of all fees.

GENERAL RULES: All students are subject to the same rules as any other school field trip. This includes the non-use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Any violator will be subject to suspension or dismissal from the program. This means the forfeiture of all fees.

WINTER SPORTS TEAMS: If you are playing on a Pinkerton winter sports team, you are not eligible to be in the Gunstock Ski Program. There are conflicts each Friday the program goes to the mountain.

COST: Cost for the Pinkerton Ski Program is broken into three parts. Amounts below are for the 4 weeks.

          Lift Tickets & Optional Lessons (4 weeks)           $96.00

          Transportation (4 weeks)                                          $70.00

          Rentals (4 weeks)                                             Skis: $60.00           Snowboards: $60.00          Helmets: $20.00

This is paid in one lump sum and is not refundable if a student fails to attend one of the weeks. One check or money order should be made payable to Pinkerton Academy to cover all costs.

SIGNUP: The student sign-up period for this program is Wednesday, October 24. This will be during lunch periods E, F, and G in the underclassmen cafeteria. In order to be considered in the program a student must pay in full and have paperwork and signatures totally completed on the signup date. Seniors will be allowed to bring their paperwork to the Athletic Office any time during the period of October 22-24.

INSURANCE: The responsibility for accident insurance dealing with our ski program lies with the parents. Pinkerton Academy can assume no responsibility. In order for a person to participate in the ski program, the parents of the individual must sign the accompanying waiver slip.

CLOTHING: It is very important to dress warmly for the After School Ski Program. It will not be fun if you are cold. Suggested clothing is as follows: warm parka, ski pants, long underwear, turtlenecks, sweaters, hats, ski socks, and ski gloves (not knit gloves).

NOTES:

·     Ski school Supervisors and Ski Patrol are on duty at all times.

·     Personal ski equipment should have a pre-season check by a local ski shop and should be marked with the student’s name and school.

·     There is a possibility of theft at the mountain. Students from our school have had equipment stolen in the past. It is IMPORTANT that all students be alert to the whereabouts of their equipment and other possessions. When skis, boards, and other equipment is not in use, it should either be locked up or put in the mountain’s free check-in area.

If there are any questions, feel free to call me during school hours at 437-5200 x2115.
