Please do not purchase any lift tickets or other items through Wachusett unless you hear directly from Mrs. Van Vleck.

Instructions for Registering 

Thank you for your interest in joining the RJ Grey Ski and Board Club. This club gives students a fun opportunity to ski or board with their classmates from RJ Grey.  Please read all of the information below and complete each registration step.
 

Two (2) coach buses are available, and each seat must be filled.  We will accept fully completed student registrations in the order received, in blocks of 52 students.

Lift ticket information: Click here for Mt. Wachusett flyer - this has information on passes and general school-group info.

Students can purchase a 6-week Lift Badge for the 6 Ski Club dates OR purchase one of the Mt. Wachusett Season Pass options. The Season Pass is an option, not a requirement for Ski Club participants.  For information regarding lift ticket options, rental equipment, and lessons, please refer to the Wachusett Mountain website.  Rates at Wachusett do increase on December 2nd.  Lessons and equipment rentals can be limited based on availability.

Students who already have a ski lift pass for Mt. Wachusett can sign up to participate in the Ski Club (and not purchase a lift ticket through the Ski Club).  A completed and signed Wachusett application must still be submitted with your registration materials.  On the form, you will indicate that you’ve purchased a season pass and no payment is required.  However, you will still be responsible for the $180.00, which is the Student Transportation Fee, the annual district activity fee ($50), and whatever additional rentals/lessons you may elect to purchase through the Wachusett website.
