Roxboro Ski Club Information 2006/07 Season
When do we go? We will ski five Tuesdays in a row (weather permitting)
beginning on January 9. (This is the first Tuesday after we return from winter
break).
Jan. 9 Jan. 16 Jan. 23 Jan. 30 Feb. 6 (2007)
Our packet with freebie cards will be distributed
on our first trip. (Depending on Brandywine.)
What is Freebie Card? Please refer to the exact
details on the back of the card.
How long are we on the slopes? The club members come to my room after school to get their gear ready.
We will board the bus at 2:45. We will then arrive at Brandywine at 3:45. The
first lessons will begin at 3:15. There will be a call to begin getting off the
slopes at 6:45. The bus will depart from Brandywine at precisely 7:30. We will arrive back at Roxboro by 8:30.
Can I eat at Brandywine? Brandywine has an extensive
food service. They also have a new food card that can be purchased. You can buy
the card similar to a gift card so you dont have to mess with cash.
Is there anything that could limit my participation? All district school rules apply to Ski Club. If you are involved in a disciplinary action, you could still go to Brandywine, however, you cannot go on the bus with the club. (There will be no refund of bus costs in such circumstances.)
How should I dress?
Warm Warm Warm. Its better to have a duffle bag full of clothes you will
not wear, than to get there and be freezing the entire session. Above all, make
certain you at least have a good pair of gloves. I
highly recommend you wear a watch to keep track of lesson, and departure times!
What should I do with my gear before school? You may bring your duffle bags, skis, snowboards,
and etc. to my room, Tuesday morning. I have a secure place to store all of your
gear. You can come back down to my room when we get off the bus in the evening
to pick it up.
Do I have to take lessons? Unless you are a member of the National Ski Patrol, or have an Olympic
Gold Medal hanging on your wall, the answer is YES! You can only improve
from what the instructors have to show you. If
you feel it is not necessary to take lessons, do not join the club.
If you are not taking lessons, the club becomes nothing more than a Taxicab
service. Ski Club should be a fun learning experience, not a babysitting
service. I want the kids from Roxboro to be the best skiers/boarders on the slopes!
I have seen kids from other schools skiing out of control. Crazy stunts are
unacceptable behavior for skiers/boarders under our supervision. Please refer
to the following link to the Boston Mills/Brandywine slopes.

Since lockers at Brandywine cost a dollar, should I share with
my friend?
No!
I can
tell you one story after another about problems with sharing lockers. Take
an extra buck each week and get your own locker.
It is very important that you get off the slopes and put your gear away in a timely manner each night we ski. It really stinks to make everybody on the bus and all the parents who are arriving at Roxboro, have to wait in the cold for a student who is late to the bus. That is why I recommend wearing a watch.
Students
and two advisors will be riding the charter bus. This bus will depart from
Roxboro at 2:50 sharp.
If you plan to pick your child up at Brandywine, or plan to
stay and ski for an additional session, please send in a signed note explaining
the circumstances before we depart from school. A simple note will prevent chaos when we are
accounting for students as we depart Brandywine. Trying to call parents or
get in contact with me during the ski session is an ugly mess. When I
see the note as I am checking off names before we depart school, I know not to
look for your child during roll call before we depart from Brandywine.
