On Sunday, Feb. 8, while most of us were probably nursing a hangover, 11 New School students met at Paragon Sports near Union Square to head to Windham Mountain for a full day of skiing and snowboarding.

The conditions were perfect. A snowstorm had recently rolled through, leaving these notoriously icy runs covered in a layer of fresh powder.

“It’s good for accessibility purposes. It’s great for the price,” said Liz Noonan, a BAFA student and seasoned skier.

The highlight of the trip for Noonan was when she got to see her friend, Chelsea Rubin, a senior at Parsons “crush it,” as she “dominated the black diamond run.”

The New School Recreation and Athletics Department hosts several similar events each semester, like an overnight ski trip to Mount Snow, ice skating in Bryant Park and an archery lesson. All outings are offered for free or discounted prices, so students don’t have to worry about breaking the bank. So get out there Narwhals and tusk up the slopes!
