Save the dates! April 7 to April 9 are the days for the annual BU Snow family trip to Jay Peak where you will have the opportunity to mingle amongst other avid skiers from the Bishop’s community and meet new people. With the ability to stay with up to five of your friends in a spot near the hill in Vermont, it is sure to be a dream trip.

 The BU Snow executive team has worked tirelessly with the Jay Peak staff so the ski club can get three days of skiing in without having to go back to Lennoxville in between, guaranteeing the most skiing possible. The Jay Peak team has also generously agreed to give massive price reductions so that you can stay in their luxurious lodging for two nights and have three days of skiing for about the price of two lift tickets.

 With Jay Peak still getting heavy snow in the night and having above 0℃ temperatures in the daytime, you can expect some great conditions during your stay. Jay Peak has numerous amenities such as great restaurants, an arcade, a state of the art waterpark, and many more things to experience during your stay. Boasting an impressive 81 runs, you are sure to find a hill that fits your skill level and will make for a fantastic skiing experience. The hill currently has all lifts open, 333 feet of total snowfall, a large terrain park with a variety of features for all skill levels, and almost all glades of different levels open to the public. Whether you are there for the amazing skiing or the many other different enticing activities, there is something for everyone no matter what you are interested in. 

This trip is the perfect way to relax and kick back with some friends right before final exams and the end of the ski season. With the end of the semester quickly approaching, it could be a fantastic way to spend time with friends and cap off the year before heading home for the summer.
