<p>I've never skied before and was wondering, besides the equipment, how much woul a day at the slopes cost at Dartmouth? DO Dartmouth students get a discount?</p>
<p>You can learn how to ski at Dartmouth and at the same time fulfill one of your 3 physical education requirements at the same time, I know that the cost is very reasonable and much less than the student rate of $20 (for a non-dartmouth college student) Rental $25 (non dartmouth students /employees)</p>

<p>I remember my daughter telling me that it was less than $300 if you wanted to take skiing winter term (she couldn't fit it in her schedule) The cost included transportation, lift tickets, rentals .</p>
<p>Expensive, probably ... I'm going to buy a snowboard if I go.</p>

<p>less than twenty for a day of skiing is an AMAZING bargain. take advantage of it.</p>
<p>also, the best deals on ski/snowboard equipment are usually late march-april. might make a good present if you get in...</p>
<p>Well, I got a likely ... so I'm just waiting to hear from other RD colleges. I would really be thrilled to go to Dartmouth, but I want to keep my options open until D-day.</p>
<p>I should shop for snowboarding/skiing stuff though ... because it is something I want to continue, lol, although at Dartmouth it would be much easier to, than at say, Duke (just hypothetically speaking ... I have no idea if I got in or not).</p>

<p>I should add that they have some special bargain days too--usually at least one of the Winter Carnival days you can ski for 99 cents. And, if you're more experiences and have a ride, you can buy season passes to Killington, Sugarbush, Suicide Six, etc. for reasonable prices.</p>
<p>no way, that is so incredibly amazing, wisconsin.</p>
<p>i'm thinking if i get in, i'm just going to buy skis. i'm 4'11 and i don't think i'm going to be growing anymore anyway</p>
<p>Okay, we're going to have to </p>
<p>a) find a ride</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>b) take a CC reunion ski trip up to Killington. </p>
<p>Don't even question it.</p>
<p>hahah oh gosh that'd be so fun! I love Killington, we used to go there every December till my baby bro was born...last time we went to Mount Snow, though, which was pretty goddamn sweet.</p>
<p>Ah, Killington...the gondolas...The Great Eastern, which is that reallly long green that our entire party of some twenty people would all ski on together after lunch for like an hour b/c it's the only one that every was able to survive on...skiing IS breathing, sky. it's such a natural high, i love it. yet another reason i couldn't see myself applying to Southern schools lol</p>
<p>Skiings always too much. I heard about some sort of a student pass that you can buy for the whole year that covers a bunch of resorts like Killington, Stowe, Sugarloaf (?), Suicide Six, and a few others. Anybody know about skiing at Jay peak or Tremblant?</p>
<p>I'm definitely bringing skis next year, maybe more than one pair if I can fit them into my dorm room.</p>
<p>And I am learning how to snowboard!! Mainly because I'm hopeless right now and I would like to become much better, and it's so much fun.</p>
<p>Suicide Six ... that just reminds me of some of the horrible pictures of ski accidents on despair.com posters.</p>

<p>That's an AWESOME quote, and true, too. Need to remember that for future snowboarding/et-all-new-experiences reference...</p>
<p>I'm from the Rockies...I miss my REAL mountains....<em>sigh</em>....vail, steamboat, jackson hole....I miss you.</p>
