WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Exponent) - Though most Boilers will be at the beach this Spring Break, for the members of the Purdue Ski and Snowboard Club, Spring Break will be spent on the slopes.

The athletic and social club is home to around 250 avid snow-sport lovers with varying skill levels. Among other things, the Ski and Snowboard Club holds Spring and Winter Break trips to the West, socials at Mad Mushroom, hiking trips in the spring and movie nights with free gifts from sponsors such as Rockstar.

Kara Smith, a senior in the Colleges of Health and Human Sciences and Liberal Arts, has only been skiing for one year but will be traveling with the club to Wyoming in a few weeks.
