John Jay High School Ski and Snowboard Club
Important Information for all Skiers & Parents
Ski Club members must be John Jay High School students in good standing that are ACADEMICALLY ELIGIBLE to participate and are interested in skiing or snowboarding. All JJHS & WCSD Code of Conduct Rules apply to all students while on these trips.
Transportation
● Transportation to and from the slopes will be on rented coaches which all students must ride. Adult supervision will be provided.
● All ski club members are required to bring a check for $140 to cover transportation expenses for all ski trips to be collected on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12TH. This guarantees him/her a seat on the bus for all three trips. There are NO refunds for this payment for any reason. We have a contractual and financial commitment to pay for this transportation whether you attend this trip or not. There is an additional fee for each trip for the lift tickets. See Ski Club agenda for that cost as it changes form trip to trip.
Checks are to be made payable to: John Jay Student Accounts
● Ski Club sign-ups and money collection will be held in the cafeteria after school on OCTOBER 12, 2017, 2:00-3:00 .
● There will be no refunds unless the trip is cancelled and not rescheduled.
Lift Fees
● Money for lift tickets will be collected prior to departure of each trip by chaperones.
● Please bring the exact amount (correct bills, no change required, no coins) for each trip. No checks will be accepted, CASH ONLY PLEASE.
Equipment
● The JJHS Ski Club does NOT handle equipment rentals!! Members should buy or rent equipment at local ski shops. Rentals at the mountain can be expensive and time consuming. We feel the time at the mountain should be spent enjoying the sport, not waiting in the rental line.
● We REQUIRE ALL students to wear helmets!
Departure & Arrival
● All trips will depart from and return to the High School parking lot.
● Please be at John Jay a HALF HOUR before the departure time.
● We will depart for Jiminy Peak at 1PM, and depart for Gore, Okemo, and/or Mt. Snow at 5:45AM.
● WE WILL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU IF YOU ARE NOT PRESENT AT THE SCHEDULED DEPARTURE TIME.
● In the case if inclement weather, please listen to Friday afternoon announcements and check the school’s or the ski club’s website for information.
● Parents should be prompt on picking up their child. Parents should be waiting at the school at approximately 11:00 pm on January 6, and at 7:30PM on both January 20 and February 10.
● Your child will be told to contact you when we are a half hour away from the school in order to further advise return times.
● Please ensure that your child dresses appropriately! It's always colder on the mountain so have them dress in layers with all necessary equipment (i.e. warm ski gloves, hat, face shield, scarf, winter coat, ski pants, etc.)
Parental Permission & Medical Release Form
● All Ski Club Members are required to give John Jay Ski Club a COPY of their medical insurance card in case of injury during the trip.
● Parents (or guardians) MUST sign a Parental Permission & Medical Release Form allowing a student to attend any and all ski trips of the JJHS Ski Club. One signed form is valid for the season. The form enables the adult chaperones to accompany an injured student to the nearest medical facility to be treated by qualified medical personnel. The typical procedure is:
1.) Student is taken to the first aid on the mountain.
2.) The patient is assessed by medical personnel.
3.) The parent is called for notification and description of injuries,
course of treatment, payment via credit card if student needs
treatment at medical facility.
4.) Student is transported (when needed) to hospital with chaperone
accompanying student. Or, student (if ambulatory) goes home on
bus they came on.
Checklist of things to bring on trips:
● Cash for lift ticket.
● HELMET
● Ski and snowboard equipment in equipment bag
● Boots in boot bag or held together with strap
● Backpack with hat, helmet, goggles, neck warmer, face mask, ski pants, extra socks. Put an extra pair of gloves & hat in ski bag – these get lost often. LAYER UP!!!
● Lunch or lunch money (Bring a lot...mountain food is not cheap)
● Dry clothes for ride home
● APPROVED DVD’s for bus ride (check with Mrs. Petersen prior to trips)
● Snack for ride home or money for snack at rest station
● Ski lock – we have had skis & boards stolen!!!
It is NOT the responsibility of John Jay High School, WCSD or the John Jay High School Ski & Snowboarding Club to replace lost or stolen equipment!
Any questions, please email Ms. Petersen at

Skier's Responsibility Code
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 other skiers or objects.
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.
5. All skiers shall use devices to prevent runaway skis.
6. You shall keep off closed trails and posted areas and observe all posted signs.
7. Skiing is a positive environmental experience. All skiers should extend every effort to care for the environment while enjoying the slopes.
8. 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
The JJHS Ski Club has a Zero Tolerance policy in regards to inappropriate behavior of any kind. Any student that does not obey the request of any adult or chaperons on any ski trip is subject to suspension and/or expulsion from the Ski Club and no refund will be provided!
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 noises, improper seating, projectiles, and other hazards deemed such by the chaperons are not permitted. At the chaperone’s discretion, a club member may be warned verbally or by written report. A second warning my result in suspension from ski club with NO REFUND!
3. Ski Club is an activity that 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. 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 leave to and return from each trip on their assigned bus.
7. When in doubt about anything, ask the advisor, chaperon, adult, ski area ambassador or other responsible individual for assistance. We are here to help you.
IF NECESSARY, ANY PARTICIPANT MAY BE SUBJECT TO BAG SEARCH… IF ANY JOHN JAY SCHOOL RULES ARE DEEMED BROKEN, MEMBERSHIP IN THE SKI CLUB WILL BE REVOKED INDEFINITELY WITHOUT REFUND AND SCHOOL CONSEQUENCES WILL ALSO BE EXERCISED!!
At the Slopes
1. No Ski Club member shall leave the slope/ski area. This includes leaving the lodge we are located to go to another area.
2. All students are REQUIRED 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.
4. In summary, your membership in JJ Ski Club is a privilege, not a right. Be responsible and you’ll have a great time.
