The purpose of Ski Club is "to promote skiing
and other snow activities designed to increase the enjoyment of winter sports
by its active students.” Our focus is on a safe and socially congenial
environment for our students.
Because
all of our trips and activities are organized through Stayton High School,
costs are considerably less. For those
students who are interested, the ski club also offers many opportunities for
leadership involvement. Come meet new friends, hone your leadership skills, and
have fun, all at the same time.

2007-2008 Season
The overnight ski trip for the 2005-2006 Ski season will
be Big Mountain in Whitefish Montana. If you have not had the opportunity of
visiting this resort, it offer's ski in ski out along with night skiing and
boarding. Travel to Big Mountain will be by Amtrak; it is an overnight ride to
Whitefish, Montana, then and a bus will take us to the slopes, in about 30
minutes.
This trip will allow three days of skiing
rather than two days as in the past, Plan on departing Stayton on Thursday
January 24, right after finals at about 2pm. The train is scheduled to return to
Portland, Monday January, 28. Booking our reservations early
insures us the accommodations and the resort we want for the lowest cost. Big
Mountain offers great skiing for all levels and promises a memorable trip for
our students. The cost per person is
$385.00 per person, based on 4 to a room with two sharing a queen-sized
bed. Additions or reductions in cost
will vary depending on a few options available; such as “non skiers”, “Sleeper
cars” or Lodging options and trip Insurance. This includes:
Round
trip bus fare from SHS to Portland Amtrak Station
Round
Trip Train fare, coach class, from Portland, Oregon to Whitefish, Montana
Round
Trip Bus fare from Whitefish to Big Mountain
2
Nights of Ski in- Ski out Lodging 4 students sharing 3 Beds
3
Day's lift tickets 9am -4pm
All
meals on the mountain
I recommend that each person bring a little extra money
for meals during the train trip. Meals are not included on the train;
there is a dinning car and snack bar available during the trip.
I have reserved Train and lodging for 60 persons at this
time. If you plan on going you will need your $100.00 non-refundable deposit in ASAP.
currently there are 48 persons signed up for the trip. There are a few more days
to make a reservation or the rooms will cancel. After
that date you can go if there is space available for transportation and
lodging. There will be adult supervision during the train trips and at the
Condo's.
It is extremely difficult to have direct supervision on the mountain of each student. There will be procedures for contacting myself or other chaperones while at the mountain. We will have bed checks each night and any unruly or conduct not fitting with the standards set will be dealt with by the chaperone and advisor. Schedules will be given to each participant two weeks prior to leaving.
Look for our newsletter, we will update this each month during the ski season.

If you plan to take lessons at big mountain the options areas follows: 1/2 day lessons= $50.00 including first days rental
