Outdoor and Rec Athletics 0164 - Downhill Skiing

The downhill skiing course is designed to give folks experience navigating downhill terrain regardless of experience level. For folks with little to no experience, we will start ground up, building foundational skiing skills over the course of 6 weeks. Students can choose to participate in a formal lesson or learn in a more applied way through experience. For those with preexisting ski skills, you will have the class time to get as many runs in as possible with a group who will provide technical feedback and good company. This course will take place at Berkshire East from January 25 - March 7. A required course fee of $160 is associated with this course and will cover a lift ticket for Berkshire East for our class timeframe. Students also have the option to rent ski or snowboard equipment ($106) and/or participate in a formal lesson ($81). Please reach out to Michelle (mldop@hampshire.edu) if finances pose a barrier. -Students will need to commit to that combination of gear/lessons they would like by December 14th. This course will be graded pass/fail. A "pass" for this course is based on attendance and participation.
