Ski Bus: Friday Nights at Pleasant Mountain
Friday Night Skiing & Snowboarding is HERE!
Get ready for some winter fun! Our Friday Night Skiing & Snowboarding Program is designed for Arundel residents in grades 5–9 and offers students the opportunity to hit the slopes with friends in a group setting with limited supervision. Join us after school on Fridays as we head to Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton for an evening of skiing, snowboarding, and fun! Hop on the Rec bus, spend time on the mountain, and make the most of your Friday nights this winter.
Participants must be able to independently put on and properly wear all required gear, arrive at scheduled check-in times, and responsibly manage their equipment without assistance. They should also be able to follow instructor directions, demonstrate safe and appropriate behavior on the slopes and around others, remain with their partner, communicate their needs or concerns, and transition with minimal assistance. These skills are essential to ensuring a safe, positive, and successful group experience for all participants.
Program Dates:
We will visit Pleasant Mountain for four Fridays:
- January 8, 15, 22 & 29, 2027
- Weather Make-Up Date: February 5, 2027 (if needed)
