Glen Cove Ski Club visits Windham

The Glen Cove High School Ski Club enjoyed their first trip of the year when they took to the slopes at Windham Mountain in the Catskills in January.

Sunny skies greeted the 45 members of the club, but so did temperatures hovering in the single digits. Despite the bitter cold, the conditions on the mountain were fantastic and new snow had fallen. All of the club members, including 13 students who are brand-new to the sport, had a great day.

“I love skiing with the experts and the die-hard skiers in the club, but I’m even more excited to see so many students trying out skiing and snowboarding,” Ski Club adviser Christopher Barry said. “This club is all about exposing kids to a healthy, outdoor activity that will hopefully turn into a lifelong love for them.”

The Ski Club’ also planned a trip to Mount Snow, Vermont.
