[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many schools have parent-run ski club, and the county has one too. Our middle school (NB) ski club costs $200 plus the lift ticket plus a voluntary contribution for chaperone end-of-year party and scholarship fund.  5 ski trips in Jan-Feb. Walter Johnson started ski club this year too, but I don’t know the cost or details. [/quote]

That sounds luxurious at a level that many families can't afford.  Does the scholarship fund cover every kid on FARMS who's never been skiing?  I kind of have a problem with something this expensive being directly connected _with school_, not keast of all because whose insurance liability is being invoked here if there's a problem?  I can't think of too many activities that are higher-risk and higher cost out-of-pocket [/quote]

It is crazy luxurious if you think about all the costs associated with it - lift pass, ski equipment, ski clothing. The fact that the school can fill 7 buses of kids who can afford it should tell you something. [/quote]
