Learn to ski with your classmates.
Ski Club is back for its second season — a parent-organized program for St. Bart's families in grades 2 through 8. Five Friday trips to Whitetail — bus from school, an hour of lessons, rental gear, and pizza on the way. No experience necessary. Last season, roughly three out of four of our skiers had never been on a mountain before.
Registration is full — our bus is full for the 2027 season.
Need a bus seat? Join the waitlist using our Bus Waitlist Form. We'll contact waitlisted families after registration closes on November 15.
Driving your child separately? You can still sign up — the waitlist is only for the bus. Register with Whitetail directly using our group code, WTMDSC5fri, and email skiclubmd@gmail.com so we know your child is coming.
Please don't send the $50 deposit unless we offer your child a bus seat.

The 2027 season
Five Fridays, January through February.
Ski Club runs five Friday trips to Whitetail Mountain Resort in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania — about ninety minutes from campus and one of the closest mountains to the D.C. area. Students travel together by charter bus and return the same evening.
Trips are spaced across January and February so children build on the previous outing rather than starting over each time. That rhythm is the reason beginners progress so quickly.
The 2027 Fridays
- Friday, January 8
- Friday, January 22
- Friday, February 5
- Friday, February 19
- Friday, February 26
Preseason meeting: Friday, November 13, 3:15 – 3:45 PM, in the Parish Hall — a parent or guardian and each skier attend.
Who can join
Open to grades 2 through 8.
Ski Club is open to St. Bart's students in second grade through eighth grade. A full day on a mountain — bus travel, rental fittings, lessons, and evening skiing — asks a lot of a child, and this is the range where it works well.
Eligible Not eligible this season
Preschool, kindergarten, and first grade are not eligible. We know that's disappointing for some families with a younger sibling who wants to come along, and we appreciate your understanding.
