Vermont Break by Todd Niziol Co-Editor What's multi colored, standing in snow, and buzzed? The ski cub of course! Thrity-some members of the Penn State Hazleton ski club journeyed north to Vermont’s ski resort Smuggler’s Notch from Jan. 2nd to Jan. 7th for seven days of skiing and partying. Things started out slowly as the bus arrived two hours late. When the bus finally arrived at the ski resort the grouchy and tired travelers transformed into psychotic skiers and party-hardy fools. We were housed in three floor condos with kitchens, T.V. *s, and fireplaces (that actually didn’t work). At night we gathered around the fireplaces with our friends and drank plenty of "water”. The days went by slowly. We’d get up, make breakfast, ski until four, make dinner, party, take two tylenol, and pray we’d get up in the morning. The slopes were simply incredible. The Madonna lift carried us up some 3610 feet, a mere 13 minute ride! The trip home was long, but we survived. How, might you ask? Well, some things we can’t print, so ask a ski club member.
