McCarter’s ski club open to all

Charlie Kephart, Editor in Chief • October 31, 2024 • 17 Views

English teacher David McCarter has announced his annual ski club. The club is open to anyone and is not school-sponsored. 

“A large benefit with joining the ski club is a deep discount on price compared to walking up to the ticket window and renting and getting a lift ticket. It’s astronomically cheaper,” McCarter said.

Students must purchase ski passes at the student rate. For more information, contact McCarter.

Charlie Kephart, Editor in Chief
Hey! During my third year on staff, my senior year, I have taken on the role of being Editor in Chief for Mountain Echo. My sophomore and junior year, I served as associate editor. Outside of school I enjoy hanging out with my best friend, exercising, watching Netflix, photography and working as a lifeguard and teaching swim lessons at the YMCA. After high school I plan to pursue a medical path, with the intent of being a nurse practitioner. I'm looking forward to this school year and seeing what it brings our way!
