Space left in Telemark Ski PE Class (Thursdays 1-4pm)
Are you an alpine skier looking to spice up your skiing? Are you an aspiring backcountry skier who wants to learn how to telemark turn and start exploring the woods for untracked powder? Do you need a PE credit and you missed signups?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider signing up for the telemark skiing PE class being offered Thursdays 1-4pm, starting next week. If you are interested, please email [log in to unmask] with your name, class year, and student ID #. Please also include your shoe size, height, and previous skiing experience. There is a course fee of $135 to cover lift tickets at Jiminy, and all equipment is provided free from WOC. Previous alpine skiing experience is highly recommended for this class.
