D Page Four TH£ SALiMITC Tuesday, December 9, It - College Ski Weeks What happens when 1000 college students get together for a week of skiing and fraternizing? Offi cials at Aspen, Colorado and Mount Snow, Vermont found out one week this past January. That was the week the Student Ski Association held two of its “Great Ski Carnivals’’, “We honestly didn’t expect so many people,” admitted one SSA organizer. “A lot of students slept in cars in the parking lot the night before the carnival opened. Registration on the first day at Mount Snow was like trying to get into a Rolling Stones concert.” That didn’t deter the students from skiing, racing, partying and mingling in two of the biggest college ski weeks ever held. “Judging from the number of phone calls we received after ward, inquiring as to the address of ‘Mary Ellen in room 26’, there were quite a few friend.ships made.” One student happily dis covered she was sitting between John Denver and Spider Sabich at a cozy bar in Aspen. After it was all over, everybody agreed that the week had been a big success and SSA announced the same carnivals will be offered this January. In all this sea.son over a dozen carnivals will be offered at major resorts in the East, Midwest and Rocky Moun tains. Eastern carnivals last five* days; Midwestern carnivals are usually held over weekends; Rocky Mountain carnivals last six days and seven nights. This winter SSA will also offer five day carni vals in the Midwest featuring ski ing at a choice of up to five ski areas. For one low price students receive lodging (first class only, no dormitories), lift tickets and, at most carnivals, two full meals a day. There are also enough activities to keep even the most energetic collegian entertained for the whole week. “They have their choice of fun and serious races. Miller Beer parties, dances, night club shows, swimming, saunas — you name it,” At last January’s carnivals hun dreds of students took advantage of special discounts on ski lessons and equipment rentals. Le.sson and equipment rentals, which are available at every carnival, make Ithe carnivals ideal places for students who are learning to ski. According to SSA Assistant Di rector Hilary Pender. "The popu larity of our carnivals is in large part due to our removing the normal hassles associated ’ with going skiing. We pick top ski re sorts, the best lodges and fake care of all the details. Students can ('ome solo or with friends SSA will find roommates for those wanting them. We will even arrange car pool transportation, charier buses or low cost flights through our official travel agency, Adventura Travel. Because of the large number of students, we can get very low rates from the ski areas and lodges and pass the savings on to the students.” Here is this season’s schedule of SSA Great Ski Carnivals, Unless otherwise noted, prices include first class lodging, daily lift tick ets, two meals per day and ad mission to all activities.
