Ideal weather conditions greeted the Georgia Highlands College ski trip participants when they arrived in Boone, N.C.

Twenty seven students took part in the annual trip led by Dr. Ken Weatherman, professor of physical education.

Students taking the trip received either PHED credit or public service credit.

Participants were required to attend six hours of training taught by Weatherman before the Dec. 14-18 trip and also received instruction in skiing or snowboarding at the French-Swiss Ski College in North Carolina.

�It was a great experience,� said Stephanie English, a student from Temple who went on the trip. Accordng to Weatherman, the weather conditions were ideal with lots of natural and manmade snow.

�I loved snowboarding,� said David Thompson, a trip participant from Carrolton. �Because of this trip and Coach Weatherman, I will be going on ski trips every winter.�

�For an old guy like me who loves to ski, it couldn't have been much better,� said Weatherman.

The trip will be offered for the 25th consecutive year next winter.

Weatherman said the dates are still indefinite, but will be decided within the month. Tentative dates are the week of Dec. 12 or the first week in January.
