Old Man Winter approaches, and Pellissippi State Technical Community College is getting into the spirit by offering credit courses in snow skiing and snowboarding.

The classes are Jan. 7-10 at Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley, N.C., and both are open to the public.

People enrolling in either class on or before Dec. 13 are eligible to earn one hour of credit in physical education for spring semester 2008.

The snow skiing course (PHED1070) is $235, and the snowboarding course (PHED2000) is $260.

The cost per person for each course is based on four people to a room and includes some meals (three breakfasts and two lunches), lift tickets, lessons and equipment. The price increases if fewer than four stay in a room, and the cost decreases slightly if equipment rental is not required.

People not enrolled at Pellissippi State but interested in the courses are required to complete an admission application, which carries a $10 application fee, and to be accepted as a nondegree student.

Participants must be at least 18 years of age. They also must attend a course-related seminar at 6 p.m. Dec. 13. The seminar is in the Cafeteria Annex of the Goins Building, located on the Pellissippi Campus on Hardin Valley Road.

Fees are due no later than Dec. 13 and can be paid at the seminar.

If participants drop a course before the March 31 refund deadline, their money will be returned, minus a $50 processing fee. After the deadline, refunds will be at the instructor’s discretion.
