Come with us, and you'll have the chance to learn to ski or board with a group of other
new BUMS who are just as clueless as you are. :) When you're all in the same boat, it
makes for a truly hilarious, laughter-filled day of fun like none other! By the end of the
day, you'll have new friends, a new winter sport to enjoy, and an amazing sense of
accomplishment. Then, we party on the way home.
Upon our arrival, the SKI BUMS staff and volunteers will guide you each step of the way

Ready for a whole new way to meet cool people in NYC?
Perhaps you've been telling yourself for years that you'd like to
learn to ski or board. Maybe someone you know has been trying
to talk you into it. Maybe you simply haven't been skiing or
boarding since you were a kid, and you're feeling a little rusty...
Whatever the reason, there's no way to have more fun doing it
than with the SKI BUMS on our annual trip for "newbies," which we
call BUNNY HILL.

We'll finish the day with an apres-ski, toasting one another on a job well done. Then,
we'll board the bus, crack open our 12-packs, pass around homemade goodies, and
tell stories about our adventures. It's the kind of day you'll remember -- and laugh
about -- for a long time.

All skill levels are welcome on this
trip. To make this day as much fun
as possible, we want newbies --
and fun folks to help pass on
pointers,cheer them on, and let
themsee howmuch fun it is to ski and
board. We all remember what it was like to learn, and if you're a
skier or boarder who's got a friend who you'd like to introduce to
the slopes, this is the perfect opportunity.
This is our 4th annual BUNNY HILL, and every year, there's a whole
group of BUMS who start the season with their very first day ever on
skis or a board -- then finish the season having a blast on the
beginner and intermediate trails. If you're ready to learn something
new, want a great reason to get out of the city, and you're ready for
a whole new way to meet cool people, BUNNY HILL is for you.

introduce your group to a qualified instructor who will teach you how to ski or board. After meeting up with everyone for
lunch, you can spend the afternoon practicing with your new friends, or, take another lesson to keep working on your

Do I need to be a beginner to sign up for this trip?
Not at all! About half our participants will try something new, while the rest of us will be along to
have fun on the slopes and cheer them on. All skill levels will be joining this trip.
If I choose to sign up to rent skis, can I change my mind later if I decide to try
snowboarding (or vice-versa)?
Sure. We'll just ask you to let us know ASAP; send us an email. You'll have to have your mind
made up by check-in on the morning of the trip.
May I use my free lesson, even if I'm not a beginner?
Yes, all participants will receive a free lesson, and you can use it for any skill level instruction.
Chances are good that advanced skiers and boarders will have a group lesson virtually to
themselves, and Hunter is the home of the region's training center for PSIA and AASI
certification, so they're particularly well-qualified.
Do I really need to bring homemade food for the bus ride party home?
If you want people to like you and think you're cool, you have to bring food. But wow, what an
easy way to get people to like you and think you're cool! ;) If you CAN'T cook, opt for savory
over sweet. A deluge of cookies is not unheard of.
