You might’ve heard about the Snowboard/Ski Club’s most recent trip to Mount Snow in Vermont and you might have the same questions I did. How many kids were there, how was the weather? Was it free, were there chaperones..and other questions may have crossed your mind– We’ve got the answers! On March 11th, 2022, Mr. Schaper, Mrs. Rios, 40 students, and 5 chaperones went onto a bus to reach West Dover, Vermont while the rest of the attendees traveled on their own. It cost around $100 to participate, but attendees agreed it was worth the price in the end. It was a very nice day for outdoor adventure, sunny and in the low 40’s and the temperature softened up the snow making it perfect to ski and snowboard in. The club hit the slopes all morning, met for lunch around mid-day, skied/snowboarded more in the afternoon and then left the mountain around 4:00 PM to make it back to Meriden for 7:00 PM. The trip was an extension activity provided by the WMS club. Regarding the clubs’ activity throughout the school year, members received a special group rate to ski/snowboard at Powder Ridge for 6 weeks from early January to mid-February. The club was founded by Mrs. Fieffer about 8 years ago, and Mr. Schaper feels that it is really neat having so many participants across all of the Meriden public schools involved in the club. To sum it up, The snowboard/ ski club had a great time in Vermont, this extension activity provided by the WMS Ski and Snowboard Club was an utter success!
