Hit the slopes with your fellow Gators!
We’re putting together a winter getaway to Vermont — and you’re invited! Whether you’re an experienced skier, a total beginner, or just in it for the après-ski vibes, this will be a fun and easy weekend away with fellow Gators from across the Northeast.
This trip is in the early planning stages, so we’re collecting $50 non-refundable deposits to get a solid headcount. Your deposit helps us determine if we can qualify for group rates (20+ people) for lift tickets, hotel blocks, and other discounts.
