I understand that the bus check is nonrefundable even when the trip has been
rescheduled due to weather restrictions.
I also understand that my child needs to provide a copy of their latest report card to join the RCK Ski& Snowboard Club. This report card needs to be printed outside of school or sent electronically to Ms. O’Connell. The guidance office does not print report cards for Ski Club purposes. Thank you for your cooperation!

CODE OF CONDUCT
There are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness
can help reduce. The code applies to alpine and snowboard skiing.
1. Ski under control in such a manner that you can stop or avoid other skiers or objects.
2. When skiing downhill or overtaking another skier, avoid the skier below you.
3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
4. When entering a trail or starting downhill, yield to other skiers. All skiers shall use devices to prevent runaway skis.
5. You shall keep off closed trails and posted areas and observe all posted signs.
6. Skiing is a positive environmental experience. All skiers should extend every effort to care for the environment while enjoying the slopes.
7. All skiers must use proper etiquette in all lift lines. Cutting in line or pushing others while in line is prohibited. Any ski club member who has his/her ticket taken by the ski patrol shall be suspended from the ski club.
Behavior on Buses/ Boarding/ Disembarking
1. Smoking is not permitted on school grounds or on any bus. Any student smoking shall be suspended from the ski club.
2. Proper behavior on a bus in transit is imperative for safety. Loud noise, improper seating, projectiles, and other hazards deemed such by the chaperones are not permitted. At the chaperone’s discretion, a club member may be warned with a written report filed on any group or individual. A second warning shall result in suspension from ski club.
3. Ski club is an activity which allows young adults to deal with some social conditions not encountered before. Ski club chaperones have a responsibility to monitor proper social conduct. ALL CLUB MEMBERS SHALL RESPOND IN A POSITIVE MANNER TO ANY DIRECTION GIVEN BY A CHAPERONE! Repeated correction shall result in a written warning. The next incident shall result in suspension from ski club.
4. All ski club members are expected to show respect to everyone around them. This includes resort area employees, chaperones, bus drivers, and other club members. Anyone who displays discourteous and/or aggressive behavior toward others may be suspended from ski club.
5. A club member who returns to the bus later than requested shall be suspended from the next trip
6. Each ski club member must return on the same bus they took on the way to the mountain.
Behavior at the slopes
1. No ski club member shall leave the slope/ski lodge area. Example: While at Mt.
Snow, no one shall take the shuttle to Haystack or Snow Lake Lodge.
2. All students are advised to wear a helmet to prevent serious injury.
3. Theft is a reality at the slopes. Lock up ski gear and belongings to keep them
safe. In summary, your membership in the RCK Ski & Snowboard Club is a privilege, not a right!
Be responsible and you’ll have a great time!!!

5:15 am to load your equipment on the buses.
2. We will leave the ski areas at approx. 4:15 pm and will not be stopping for dinner.
Approximate arrival back at the RCK parking lot is 7:30pm. Students will be asked to text their parents about our arrival time once we are getting closer to the high school. Times may vary according to which mountain the ski club is visiting.
D. Ski Instruction
1. Private and group lessons at the ski slopes will be arranged for the students
taking lessons.
2. Beginners must take a lesson on the 1st trip. If a student does not succeed in
learning to ski for his/her own safety after 1 lesson, he/she will be expected to continue
taking additional lessons. More lessons will be at the recommendation of the area ski school.
3. The advisors or chaperones will give no instruction.
E. Parent Permission and Accident Release Form
Parents must sign a parent permission and accident release form allowing their
child to attend the ski club trips. One solid form is valid all season.
F. Equipment Rental
Equipment must be rented from one of our local ski shops prior to our ski
trip. It may be advisable to rent equipment for the entire season since last year many
students waited last minute to rent and the ski shops had no more rentals available. Equipment
CANNOT be rented at the mountain due to the need for credit cards unless a parent rents the equipment prior to the ski trip.
