The snow has fallen, is falling or [http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=01267 will soon fall]. That means only one thing...ski season!

Chances are, you'll get here at least once during your time at Williams (particularly if you take a winter sport class with the [[Williams Outing Club|Outing Club]], take the Ski Patrol class, or race). [http://jiminypeak.com Web Site]
Pros: closest area to campus, ~1000 ft. vertical drop, a high speed six-seat chairlift, and good bunny hill. They sell really cheap passes for [[Winter Study]] (some including rentals), so if you ever want to learn, this is the place - you'll be paying 10 times as much anywhere else. During [[Winter Study]], WOC runs buses to Jiminy Monday-Friday that leave at 1:00 PM and return to campus at 4:30 PM.
Cons: Two moderately challenging runs (Upper Lift Line and Jericho once the sun goes down). Can be cold/icy. Expensive if you don't get a Winter Study package.
* [[Alan Cordova]] will ski anywhere anytime with anyone as long as he doesn't have to pay $70 for a lift ticket.
* [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06bwd Brendan Dougherty] likes his skiing the way he likes his beer, in that he likes them both a lot.
