**COME OUT THIS THURSDAY FOR AN ENTRY INTO OUR RAFFLE FOR A FREE LIFT TICKET**

**SKI CLUB SPIRIT WEAR** Come check out sizing in the office

Here is the link to order online. All orders are due Monday, December 2nd! No late orders accepted. Delivery is targeted for the week before we leave for holiday break (goal: December 17th). This makes the spirit wear great holiday gifts!


When customers place orders, they will have an option to enter the school they associate with to help with distribution once the spirit wear arrives. We have also added an option for customers to add personalization to the back of their spirit wear... we thought it might be cool to have the last name of students on the gear. This is optional, of course, as it is an extra cost.
