Sincerely, Doug Roy Director 4 OVERNIGHT DESTINATIONS When choosing a destination for your multi-day ski trip there are several important factors to consider. Each destination has different qualities. What might be good for a group of 13 year old non- skiers/snowboarders would probably not be acceptable to a group of 16 year old experienced skiers/snowboarders. When planning your trip look at the following factors: 1. Age of students. 2. Overall skiing/snowboarding ability of the group. 3. Type of meals necessary (i.e. meal plans). 4. Need for extra activities. 5. Trip dates. The age of the students will determine the type of accommodation that you will require and the amount of supervisors needed to adequately chaperone the group. With younger students an easily contained small ski area is usually the best option. Older students can be placed in condominium style accommodations. The overall skiing/snowboarding ability of the group will affect your destination. If you have primarily “beginners” you do not need to go to one of the more expensive high profile destinations. Group meals for younger students can be arranged at many of the destinations. For older students, staying in condominiums allows them the freedom to bring their own food which keeps the cost of the trip down. Most groups like to be able to keep the students busy in the evening with an organized activity. Each destination offers different facilities for use in the evening. Evening activities can also include
