Subject: Ski Club Trip Interest and Availability Form!



Be Sure to Read this Info-Packed Message!

We hope everyone is having an amazing break!! We were so thankful to get a good amount of snow in PA this past week, as well as hear the news that Liberty Mountain has officially opened for the season!

As we prepare to schedule our club trips, it would be super helpful if everyone could please fill out this Google Form if you are interested in going skiing during the week we return to campus!

Additionally, please fill out this general availability form that we will use to base the days of our weekly trips on throughout the semester:

It is simply asking which days of the week, as well as times, work best for you all! Additionally, it will ask if you need a ride to trips or are willing to drive others, as well as what equipment you may need to rent! **It is everyone's personal responsibility to fill out the Google Form in a timely manner. If you do not fill it out, it is impossible for us to plan you into our trips, or for you to expect a spot in a trip!**

As a note, our trips in the past usually involved leaving campus at about 4:00 PM, and heading back to Gettysburg from the ski resort at 8:00 PM. The drive to Liberty is only about 16-18 minutes! If there is a strong interest/need for a different timeframe than this depending on everyone’s schedules, we will do our best to work with your requested dates/times based on the poll results! 

As a few of our members are spring athletes with seasons starting on February 1, we are going to be scheduling 1-2 trip opportunities the first week we return to campus (January 22-27). This may include a weekday, based on the poll results, as well as Saturday the 27th, which would be our first chance to attend and gague everyone's interest for Dew After Dark College Nights starting at 3 PM! Once again, please fill out the Google Form so we know how many people would 100% be interested, as well as know how much money we’d need to prepare for your tickets. Saturday’s Dew After Dark event includes HALF-OFF tickets and $5 rentals, and this seems like a great kick-off event where a good number of people should be able to attend for these lower prices! 

Thank you all, we are really looking forward to a wonderful winter together!

Sharing an exciting opportunity that Liberty just let me know they are offering! This year, they are having a Saturday special called Dew After Dark College Nights, which will run every Saturday until March 2nd. This special includes 50% off lift tickets when you show your student ID, as well as $5 rental packages! I know a lot of us may have busy weekend plans, but for some club members this could be a great opportunity to take advantage of a discounted ticket & rental, which could allow us to better use the college’s funding with a half-off ticket and cheaper than usual rentals! I will be sure to keep everyone posted about potential transportation to this, but for now I wanted to let everyone know about this new event throughout the season!!
