POTOMAC - More than 20 Potomac School students along with staff and parents traveled to Discovery Ski Area Feb. 3 for a ski day. This ski day for Potomac students was in conjunction with the Friday Explorers program.
Discovery Ski Area offers programs for schools to participate in ski days at special rates. Potomac along with other schools including Lone Rock and Butte Central skied and snowboarded during a cloudy, snowy and then clear day.
Potomac teachers Raynee Clairmont and Kristina Davis organized the trip and enjoyed skiing as well.
Clairmont was excited to see the students ski. "A lot of them come to school on Monday talking about their weekend ski adventures, so I was happy to be able to share in their excitement," she said.
Most students traveled by bus. After arriving at the ski area, students were outfitted with ski or snowboard rentals, lift tickets and helmets.
They were placed with ski instructors according to the level that they ski. All students had to complete group lessons before skiing the remainder of the day.
After lunch, students skied and snowboarded until the last minute, then gave back their gear and headed for the bus or cars.
Potomac has another ski day March 3 at Discovery Ski Area.
