Due to bus shortages, some trips for some schools will take place on a Thursday.

Notre Dame Prep site will now be offered to grades 6-12

TENTATIVE!  Towson High (Gr. 10 and 12) overnight trip to Seven Springs - February 10th and 11th.  In search of parents to assist with the planning in order to make this happen!  (this would be an additional fee separate from the regular ski club). Email Krista if interested at towsonrecski@gmail.com 

Important to Note

Your child should be independent in renting equipment, carrying equipment, riding the lift, and skiing/boarding. A chaperone will not be with them on the slopes at all times. In addition, they need to adhere to departure times, manage their behavior on the bus and at the resort and be willing to approach adult chaperones to ask for assistance when needed. Please use your judgement if your child meets the criteria.

Lessons will not be offered on school trip nights and therefore are not recommended for first-time skiers/boarders.

Rentals are not included with any of the Epic passes.  Season rentals can be purchased through Liberty Mountain Resort or Princeton Sports, or you may reserve rentals in advance of trip nights through the Liberty Mountain website.  

Private school sites are limited to students who attend those schools. Students from any school are welcome on the Meadowood, Dumbarton or Towson High pick-up sites, provided they can arrive by the scheduled departure time.

The resorts are still cashless!

Chaperones and Volunteers!

Parents chaperones are needed for Dumbarton, Towson High and Meadowood.  A sign-up genius will be distributed in November.

We are looking for parents to help plan an overnight trip to Seven Springs for Towson High (Gr. 10-12) on February 10th and 11th. 

ISO a Facebook and IG-savvy student or parent to help manage our sites (your TRC ski club fee will be waived as a thank you!)
