2025 School Ski Trip to Vermont

As part of our holistic enrichment programme, the Senior School Ski Trip provides students with an unforgettable opportunity for travel and personal development. Following the success of previous years we will return to the USA in March 2025, travelling to the resort of Killington, Vermont with specialist tour operators True North Travel.

“Killington has long been a favourite with UK school groups and there’s a good reason for that. New England’s largest resort spans 6 mountains, has an unrivalled beginner programme and dedicated learning zones. With 155 trails Killington offers so much choice from wide groomed cruisers, narrow classic New England runs, Moguls and Steeps. High annual snowfall and extensive snowmaking makes Killington snow-sure throughout the season.” Review by True North Travel.

Students will have five days of skiing with five hours of tuition each day. There will also be an opportunity for a snowboarding group, subject to numbers.

Date of departure has been confirmed as Sunday 30th March 2025, flying from Manchester Airport and returning seven days later. A parents’ information evening is scheduled for Monday 2nd December 2024 to share full details.

The trip is open to students in Years 8-13 (at time of departure) and a deposit is required to secure your child’s place. Flexible payment plans available. Please email Mr Amin at aminw@bwslive.co.uk, for further information.

Pupils' experiences are enriched by an extensive range of visits and extra-curricular activities.
