Peaks Island Ski and Board Club (PISC) is running its annual six (6) Wednesday afternoon skiing and boarding at Pleasant Mountain (formerly known as Shawnee Peak). Please join us for six Wednesdays at Pleasant Mountain starting JANUARY 7th. \nWhat We Are: We are a volunteer club that is about getting our island kids and families\, our community\, recreating together outside\, rain or shine\, during the winter. We are NOT a commercial service; instead\, we operate from the good work of lots of volunteers. We want our kids exercising together OUTSIDE even on the bad days. We operate every Wednesday that Pleasant Mountain’s lifts are operating. \nYou need to drive or arrange both for your skier ‘n boarders transport to Pleasant AND for a responsible adult while at Pleasant. If you are in need of high levels of personal service\, we recommend you contact your local ski area’s professionals. We will presume that you’ll willingly cooperate with our PI Ski & Board Club community guidelines and practices and with Pleasant Mountain’s group program. If you have questions\, please contact any one of us listed below. \nWho and How Much: Any and all kids and their families that live on or associated with our island communities are welcome to join us up at Pleasant Mountain. Our program is for six (6) Wednesday afternoons. Pleasant Mountain would like payment via their website\, and we will provide the code once you submit your waiver form. \nThose costs this year: $180 per each child or parent using the lifts or slopes for 6 Wednesday lift tickets\, OR $360 for 6 lift tickets and 6 90 minute lessons\, OR $336 for 6 lift tickets and 6 equipment rentals\, OR $516 for 6 lift tickets\, 6 lessons\, and 6 rentals. This year\, they are also offering a “Refresher Lesson” on your first visit for $30\, so you don’t have to commit to six lessons. \nSki lessons run for six (6) weeks\, each lesson is 90 minutes long\, starting at 3:15 pm\, ending around 4:45 pm. Instructors are kid-trained and friendly. \nPaperwork Required: All adult and child skiing/boarding participants must sign and return TO ANDY JACKSON (65 Sterling St\, Peaks Island 04108) a FULLY COMPLETED – by both a parent/guardian\, and by child “PISC Waiver and Release” AND complete the registration form online at Pleasant Mountain’s website. [We will provide the link upon receipt of the waiver form.] **The paperwork is due by Dec. 1\, payment online by Dec. 18.** [We will provide the payment link upon receipt of the waiver form.] \nHow their Equipment Rental works: For those taking advantage of Pleasant Mountain’s excellent and easy Rental program\, once the paperwork is filled out and gear assigned on Day 1\, that same gear will be pulled out\, set up by the Pleasant Mountain Rental Shop with your child’s name on it\, adjusted\, and waiting for your arrival each Wednesday. It’s easy for the kids to pick up their own rental at Pleasant Mountain after their first day\, and rentals are returned to the rental office at the end of each ski day. There’ll be an Online Rental Registration weblink. \nEquipment: If your beginner or novice child is without gear\, ask around as our Peaks community has a good stash of school-sized ski and board equipment. Play It Again is a good source\, and many local ski shops offer a season long rental for our kids. You can also try: https://fitmaine.com/where-to-buy-affordable-used-winter-gear/ and: https://winterkids.org/blog/maine-ski-swaps/ Wednesday ETD and ETA: Most families on island plan to take 12:45 ferry leaving Peaks each Wednesday. We cannot offer a formal carpool program\, but encourage people to make their own arrangements if they’d like to share driving with other participants in the program. Pleasant Mountain is open until nearly 9:00 pm\, but many of us try to catch the 7:15 pm CBL return to Peaks by leaving Pleasant Mountain around 5:30 pm. It’s important to ensure our kids can keep their eyes open in school on Thursday\, but older kids often take a later boat home.

Peaks Island Ski and Board Club (PISC) is running its annual six (6) Wednesday afternoon skiing and boarding at Pleasant Mountain (formerly known as Shawnee Peak). Please join us for six Wednesdays at Pleasant Mountain starting JANUARY 7th. \nWhat We Are: We are a volunteer club that is about getting our island kids and families\, our community\, recreating together outside\, rain or shine\, during the winter. We are NOT a commercial service; instead\, we operate from the good work of lots of volunteers. We want our kids exercising together OUTSIDE even on the bad days. We operate every Wednesday that Pleasant Mountain’s lifts are operating. \nYou need to drive or arrange both for your skier ‘n boarders transport to Pleasant AND for a responsible adult while at Pleasant. If you are in need of high levels of personal service\, we recommend you contact your local ski area’s professionals. We will presume that you’ll willingly cooperate with our PI Ski & Board Club community guidelines and practices and with Pleasant Mountain’s group program. If you have questions\, please contact any one of us listed below. \nWho and How Much: Any and all kids and their families that live on or associated with our island communities are welcome to join us up at Pleasant Mountain. Our program is for six (6) Wednesday afternoons. Pleasant Mountain would like payment via their website\, and we will provide the code once you submit your waiver form. \nThose costs this year: $180 per each child or parent using the lifts or slopes for 6 Wednesday lift tickets\, OR $360 for 6 lift tickets and 6 90 minute lessons\, OR $336 for 6 lift tickets and 6 equipment rentals\, OR $516 for 6 lift tickets\, 6 lessons\, and 6 rentals. This year\, they are also offering a “Refresher Lesson” on your first visit for $30\, so you don’t have to commit to six lessons. \nSki lessons run for six (6) weeks\, each lesson is 90 minutes long\, starting at 3:15 pm\, ending around 4:45 pm. Instructors are kid-trained and friendly. \nPaperwork Required: All adult and child skiing/boarding participants must sign and return TO ANDY JACKSON (65 Sterling St\, Peaks Island 04108) a FULLY COMPLETED – by both a parent/guardian\, and by child “PISC Waiver and Release” AND complete the registration form online at Pleasant Mountain’s website. [We will provide the link upon receipt of the waiver form.] **The paperwork is due by Dec. 1\, payment online by Dec. 18.** [We will provide the payment link upon receipt of the waiver form.] \nHow their Equipment Rental works: For those taking advantage of Pleasant Mountain’s excellent and easy Rental program\, once the paperwork is filled out and gear assigned on Day 1\, that same gear will be pulled out\, set up by the Pleasant Mountain Rental Shop with your child’s name on it\, adjusted\, and waiting for your arrival each Wednesday. It’s easy for the kids to pick up their own rental at Pleasant Mountain after their first day\, and rentals are returned to the rental office at the end of each ski day. There’ll be an Online Rental Registration weblink. \nEquipment: If your beginner or novice child is without gear\, ask around as our Peaks community has a good stash of school-sized ski and board equipment. Play It Again is a good source\, and many local ski shops offer a season long rental for our kids. You can also try: https://fitmaine.com/where-to-buy-affordable-used-winter-gear/ and: https://winterkids.org/blog/maine-ski-swaps/ Wednesday ETD and ETA: Most families on island plan to take 12:45 ferry leaving Peaks each Wednesday. We cannot offer a formal carpool program\, but encourage people to make their own arrangements if they’d like to share driving with other participants in the program. Pleasant Mountain is open until nearly 9:00 pm\, but many of us try to catch the 7:15 pm CBL return to Peaks by leaving Pleasant Mountain around 5:30 pm. It’s important to ensure our kids can keep their eyes open in school on Thursday\, but older kids often take a later boat home.
