Dear Parents/Guardians,
This year St. Marguerite d’Youville is again organizing a Ski/Snowboard Club. We
are excited to get started but need to communicate and collect some important information
first.
It is vital to make students aware that because this is an out of school sports activity
safety has a high priority. Students are expected to be careful with equipment on the bus as
well as on the slopes. We expect students to be polite, cooperative and courteous on and off
the slopes. As you well know, resorts will not tolerate activities that endanger the students or
others. Most resorts require a “ski-off” or lesson. Resorts now also require all students to
wear helmets when entering the terrain parks.
This season we will be visiting Blue Mountain. We will be traveling by coach. Costs
will vary depending on the resort prices and bus costs. Students will be expected to wear
proper clothing (as determined by the weather), and take care of their own lunch meal.
Our second outing has been scheduled for Friday February the 15th 2008 to Blue
Mountain. We will be departing the school at 6:15 a.m. and returning by 5:30 p.m (subject to
change). The cost for lift tickets with lesson will be $17.00. Ski and snowboard rentals :
$8.00, Helmet rental : $3.00 and a coach fee of $30.00 (non-refundable).
Check in with staff will be at 9:00 a.m. sharp at the resort. Students will be required to do a
“ski-off”/lesson before hitting the slopes.
Please complete the following handouts and return to Mr. Carreiro by Monday
February 4th 2008. Also, every student must complete an OSBIE once at the beginning of
the season.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Mr. A. Carreiro
Please sign and return this form to school by Monday February 4th 2008.
I give my son/daughter ________________ permission to participate in the outing to Blue
Mountain on Friday February the 15th 2008.
