A total of 24 people went on Georgia Highlands’ annual ski trip. The group consisted of 18 students, five staff members and their relatives and Ken Weatherman, professor of physical education, who led the trip.
The trip was from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3. Participants lodged in Boone, N.C. and were able to choose between snowboarding and skiing while in Blowing Rock, N.C.
Students received credit for PHED 1420, Beginning Skiing and snowboarding.
The trip was open to students, faculty and staff along with friends and family.
This is the 34th year the ski trip has taken place, which was started by Weatherman in 1980.
“It was awesome, very put together,” said Lindsay Grenier, general studies student who attended the trip.
“Almost all students went away with a new experience. They left with a skill they’ll have for the rest of their lives,” Weatherman stated.
