Area ski resorts in Centre and northern
Bedford Counties are gearing up for Penn
State students and oth e rs preparing to hit
the slopes for the coming holidays.
Students can take advantage of both
individual and group discounts for the
Christmas holidays and the coming ski

Skimont in Boalsburg.
Donna Aichholz, office manager at
Skimont, said both Oregon Hill and
Skimont offer skiing lessons at group
discounts of $4B a person for 15 people or
more.
Skimont will also feature programs for
students, Aichholz said, such as a five-day
pass package for all members of the Penn

will be a $1 discount every Thursday for all
students with identification.

Aichholz said, will be the same as weekend
rates.
Also, passes for PSU students are
available at Skimont, which are selling
well, Aichholz said.
"About 300 (students) have bought them
so far," Aichholz said.
