<p>Current dartmouth students:
if you would estimate, about how large is the group of kids that go skiing on a weekly basis? (e.g weekends/ week-long/ weekend trips)</p>
<p>I have no idea. Honestly, I have no idea. A lot of people ski/learn to ski.</p>
<p>^can anyone else answer this? this can get me a sense of how many ppl avoid the frats</p>
<p>That is not a good measure of the number of people who don’t go to frats. Plenty of people ski and go to frats. </p>
<p>If you’re really opposed to going to frats, there’s nothing that can stop you from having two groups of friends – one with which you hang out during the day and one with which you hanging out at night. </p>
<p>That’s what I do. The group during the day tends to be more into sports, girls, etc., while the one at night is a bit more cerebral. It’s nice having both.</p>
<p>I don’t think it will give you that sense. Skiing is in the daytime and people go to frat parties at night. If you mean because it will give you a sense of outdoors type and they don’t drink, I think that would be wrong. Personally, I don’t drink, I do ski, I plan to ski a few times at Dartmouth, but the thing is, people that do ski will go other places to ski if they get a nice long weekend or a good deal. I have not skiied at Dartmouth, but I am from the west and ski out here and know there is no comparison. Will it be fun, yes, I will take ski classes for pe, but don’t see myself hanging out at the ski area. Will I join a frat? I don’t know that yet. I do think there are other things to do beside hang out in a frat basement, but I guess I will wait and see. I hope you do too, don’t make your decision based on others. Go to Dimensions and see what is happening besides the frats. Good luck in your decision, I am an ED acceptee so I have made my decision and I am happy!</p>
<p>Skiing is very easy to do at Dartmouth. My son went both during the week and on weekends. The bus comes regularly. You can also take skiing/boarding for your PE class. This winter the skiing was amazing.</p>
<p>can someone give me an estimate…? or just percentage-wise how many people do u see skiing on a weekly basis</p>
