Ida B Wells Winter sports club
OPEN TO ALL SKILL LEVELS
The Ida B. Wells Winter Sports Club takes Guardians to Mt. Hood Meadows for Thursday practices, January 7 through February 25. Both teams ride the same night: Recreational to ride for fun with some coaching, Competitive with coaching focused on the competition. No prior experience is needed, and both skiing and snowboarding are offered. Buses leave school at 2pm and return around 10pm, so families get one simple plan.
Registration closes Nov 30, 2026, or sooner if the 100-athlete cap is reached. Season October 2026 to April 2027. Scholarships available: cost should never be the reason a student stays home.
One club, two teams, same Thursday night.
Every rider picks one of two teams. Both ride at Mt. Hood Meadows on Thursdays, and both include the bus, chaperones, food on the way up, snacks on the way back, and OISA insurance.
Recreational is open to skiers and snowboarders: free ride and progress at your own pace, with some coaching, lighter and less competition-focused.
Competitive is the snowboard competition team: coaching focused on preparing for the competition, and riders take part in the OISA snowboard events, Banked Slalom, Boardercross, Slopestyle, and Half-Pipe, January through March, building to State, March 9 to 13.
