We have booked a ski trip for students in grades 7-9 to Nakiska for Wednesday, March 25. This trip is open to students of all abilities and levels. All students are required to take a lesson at the hill. After completion of the lesson, students will be able to ski with friends.

The bus will leave at 6:00 am on Wednesday, March 25. We will stop for a quick bathroom break along the way before arriving at Nakiska around 9:30 am. Students will gear up in their ski and snowboard gear before starting their lessons. Students are able to either pack a lunch or purchase food at the lodge.

Please ensure that students have the proper clothing packed for the day. I would suggest a couple pairs of mitts/gloves, a pair of dry socks to put on when we arrive at the hill, ski pants, winter jacket, and multiple layers. Helmets are provided with the rental gear, a thin touque can fit under the helmet, but helmets do keep your head warm. Helmets are required for all students.

Students will have the opportunity to ski/snowboard until the lifts close. We will leave the hill at 4:30 pm and make a quick stop in Canmore at the Wendy’s/Tim Hortons for supper. We plan to arrive back at the school by 9:00 pm.

Mr. Wales and Mrs. Forsyth are available for conversations regarding course selection and program planning throughout the school year. Set up a meeting by emailing dana.forsyth@plrd.ab.ca or ryan.wales@plrd.ab.ca or calling 403-854-3642 and we will answer any questions.
