We are thrilled to offer our annual ski and snowboarding program for our Residential Life students. It is a fabulous opportunity for students of all levels of the sport. As soon as the snow hits the ground, our team heads to Berkshire East Ski Mountain in Charlemont, MA, just 30 minutes from our school campus. This magical place is where students get to spend most Saturdays of their winter term on the slopes with their friends. It's an absolute blast!

Like years past, families will have the option to purchase seasonal passes, rentals and ski lessons if needed or desired. For any students who do not wish to participate in this program, not to worry, we will have other activities planned for them.

There are typically no additional charges. The exception would be special trips, such as a broadway show. 

Yes, with prior approval from residential life staff. 

Most weekends students will be able to choose between a couple of different activities, but there are also times when students can stay in dorms.
