i went to:
Selkirk & Cabinet Mountains -- Backcountry Skiing/Hiking/"
Chimney Rock -- Alpine Rock Climbing
Washington D.C. -- "Presidential Classroom"
a few others I'd heard of.
But the important point here is the general rule of thumb - 'anything exciting is only for the select few aka the 'teacher's pets" allstars'.
The ski trip lists that were read off every Sunday and Tuesday night were the biggest build up and let down for kids that loved skiing. Students that arrived to RMA and loved skiing often were limited to going 1 time during their whole stay. Nerds who never had been skiing before RMA may have ended up going on 5+ trips during their stay. Now that's not to say nerdy kids shouldn't try skiing at RMA or anywhere else but if you want to really fucking piss of some students for no reason or good reason that's a great method. Talk about generating senseless animosity angst and frustration - that's reason enough to split right there.
this was RMA 89'
