We will be skiing evenings at Mad River Mountain. Our first trip will be Tuesday,

All Skiers Please Note: The Ski Club payments are divided between the school and
the Ski Area (Mad River). The ski area portion sign up is done online.
Bus departure for ski slopes is 3:00p.m.from the high schools. Departure and return will
be on the north side (stadium side) of the building at Coffman, Brand Rd. parking lot at
Jerome, and the east side at Scioto. The buses return between 10:15p.m.and10:30p.m.
from Mad River. It is imperative that the skier is picked up on time. No one is available
to enter the buildings. If chaperones and students have to wait for someone to be picked
up, that student will not be permitted to go the following week. We do not expect parents
to have to wait for students returning; therefore we do not expect chaperones to have to
wait for parents to pick up students. Students are not to delay bus departure from the
slopes.
NOTE: Due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control, a minimum number
of visits and/or lessons are not guaranteed or implied. The program starts with one visit
and then up to five or more possible visits. Providing weather cooperates, we plan to go
six weeks. If we miss a time, that day will be added at the end. The decision to cancel a
trip will be made prior to 12 o’clock noon on that day. IF SCHOOL IS CANCELLED,
THE SKI TRIP IS ALSO CANCELLED!!

It is extremely important that the medical form is completed accurately and the signatures
included. This gives us permission to allow medical personnel to act in an emergency. We will
make every possible attempt to contact you in the event of an injury. If the injury is serious
enough, the student will be transported to hospital that can provide the appropriate care. Every
attempt will be made to contact you before any decision is made as to what should be done for the
student. We have not had a serious injury since the Ski Club has been organized, but we do want
to be prepared with necessary information if a need.
A notary public must witness the signature on the medical form.
