School Ski Day

21 January 2011Jim Ganley

On Wednesday, January 26th, Brentwood will be holding its annual School Ski Day. Mr. Amiel and Mr. Flynn have been working hard to organize this event in which 250 students are taken to Mount Washington (which has the biggest snow base in the world!), for a day of skiing. In a term that is often clouded with wet weather, a ski day, above the clouds, in the sunshine, is a welcome escape for many.

The origins of school ski day are unknown, but if I had to hazard a guess, I think that Deputy Head, Mr. John Allpress began it long ago when, as a fanatic skier who had recently moved from New Zealand to Canada (presumably for the wicked west coast powder) he carved some tracks. Students choosing not to go will remain at school to catch up on academic work or to rehearse for the upcoming musical, “The Phantom of the Opera”.

Fresh tracks for all. See you at the peak!
