Update on Montgomery County High Schools Trip Dates for this January 2024
Dear Students and Parents,
I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the upcoming January 12-16, 2023 ski trip for Montgomery County High Schools.
Due to overwhelming demand, the January 12-16, 2024, Canada Ski Trip reached its maximum capacity and sold out in late October. Walter Johnson, Churchill, and Walt Whitman high schools quickly filled 80% of the available spots, leaving many students from these schools on the waiting list.
Recently, we secured additional buses and accommodations for January 12-16, enabling the roommates of students on the waiting list from those 3 schools (WJ, Churchill and Whitman) to register for the new spaces.
What about BCC, Richard Montgomery, Quince Orchard, Northwest, Clarksburg, Poolesville, Wootton, and other schools? Good news for ALL Students including All on Waiting list and New Students wishing to attend this year below!
Concerning students registered from BCC, Richard Montgomery, Quince Orchard, Northwest, Clarksburg, Poolesville, Wootton, and others. These schools currently have a significant number of students on the waiting list. Unfortunately, we cannot provide additional spaces for the January 12-16, 2024 trip. But there is good news for all!
WE ARE ANNOUNCING A NEW MONTGOMERY COUNTY TRIP DATE: JANUARY 26-30, 2024
> >> END OF QUARTER TEACHER WORKDAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND
This exciting new trip January 26-30, 2024, is perfectly aligned with the end of the quarter grading period and the Teacher Workday Holiday Weekend, guaranteeing no disruption to school days.
This fresh January 26-30, 2024 trip date provides an excellent chance for ALL currently registered, WAIT LISTED students and NEW students interested from BCC, Richard Montgomery, Quince Orchard, Northwest, Clarksburg, Poolesville, Wootton, and other Montgomery County High Schools (except Walter Johnson, Churchill, and Whitman) to attend.
We've secured enough hotel space at the Chateau Frontenac and buses for everyone!
VERY IMPORTANT ACTION NEEDED (Please see your options below)
As a student from one of these schools already registered, you have two options:
- REMAIN on the current trip January 12-16, 2024:
Please note, we will not be able to offer any additional spaces to those from your school on the waiting list, additional friends or others from your school wishing to attend on the January 12-16, 2024 trip.
- TRANSFER your reservation to the new End of Quarter Trip, January 26-30, 2024. This new trip is now open at SkiTravel.com to ALL students who wish to transfer from the January 12-16, 2024 as well as ALL students on the WAITING LIST and ALL NEW students interested in attending. (Everyone can go! Plenty of space, for now)
PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW AND COMPLETE THE TRIP DATE REMAIN OR TRANSFER FORM
DEADLINE: COMPLETE FORM NO LATER THAN THURSDAY DEC 14
Throughout November and early December, our team put in significant effort to secure extra buses and accommodations. It was quite challenging due to a severe shortage of bus drivers across the U.S. Our primary aim has been to ensure sufficient space for all interested students to attend alongside their friends. Introducing this new trip date emerged as the most viable solution.
We are grateful for your understanding and hope this update sheds light on the available options. If you need further clarification or assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at any time.
Sincerely,
Dan Callahan
Director, Ski Travel
