Earn an hour of credit skiing the North Carolina slopes

The annual Floyd College skiing and snowboarding trip will provide an opportunity for students to earn an hour of credit for Spring Semester 2003.

The trip, which has traditionally taken place in January, has been moved to Dec. 15-19 this year.

Dr. Ken Weatherman of the physical education department said, "We have been offering this program since 1980, and there has always been a lot of interest from students. We average around 40 students every year."

Weatherman said, "Students from other colleges are also welcome to attend because the credit has always transferred without trouble."

Credit is being offered for either PHED1420 (Beginning Skiing and Snowboarding) or PHED1421 (Intermediate Skiing and Snowboarding).

This opportunity is also available for non-credit students, faculty, staff, family and friends. Non-students will be required to pay a $25 continuing education fee in addition to the regular fees.

The group will be hitting the slopes near the Blowing Rock Resort area near Boone, N.C.

The cost for the trip will include instruction, a textbook, lift tickets, lodging and ski equipment. The price varies according to the number of people per room. A non-refundable deposit must be paid by the Dec. 2 registration date.
