Please follow us on Facebook for trip updates and cancelations.

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.

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! Parents wishing to link a credit card to their child's Epic Pass may call Epic at 970-754-0005 or Liberty Guest Services at 717.642.8282.

Chaperones and Volunteers!

Additional Details

Parents and teachers chaperone the trips. Parents should understand that students are not supervised directly while on the slopes or in the ski lodge.  Ski patrol will contact TRC chaperones in the event of a medical concern, at which point chaperones will contact parents as necessary. If you are interested in chaperoning, please email Krista at towsonrecski@gmail.com.

Ski club participants are expected to follow the same behavioral guidelines as listed in their school student handbook. Violations may result in suspension from the club with no refunds.

While this program is open to beginners, it is recommended that first-time skiers be accompanied by a parent or more experienced friend on their first trip.  Or visit the resort at least once prior to ski club start on your own to get a lay of the land.

Complete trip details and all necessary information will be sent early - December via email to all registered students.
