Want to sharpen your skills on the slopes? Pellissippi State offers classes in both skiing and snowboarding this winter.

Options include four consecutive days on the slopes or a series of once-a-week sessions.

Pellissippi State offers two credit courses, PHED 1070 (skiing) and PHED 2000 (snowboarding), at Cataloochee ski area in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. Students will spend four consecutive days in the mountains, arriving at the resort January3 and leaving January 6.

Fees—including instruction, lift tickets, lodging, and some meals—range from $205 to $340, depending on the housing option a student selects and the need for rental equipment.
