The Ludlow Rotary Club is eagerly looking forward to our 30th Annual Youth Exchange Ski Weekend from Feb. 27 to March 2 thanks to Okemo Mountain Resort and Vail's Epic Promise grant. International Exchange Students and their Rotary International sponsors gather annually for a weekend at Okemo Mountain Resort for snow sports and building international friendships.
The students, who are studying in southern Vermont and New Hampshire for the school year, always have a great time skiing, snowboarding and riding the Mountain Coaster courtesy of Vail’s Epic Promise grant program. The program supports local communities where Vail resorts are located.
This weekend has become a tradition at Okemo Mountain Resort. In 2024 students from 12 countries attended staying with local host families and making friends.
The Youth Exchange Program ski weekend is a great success due to the Okemo Mountain Resort staff who help make it so successful. Anyone interested in learning more about being a Rotary youth exchange student or local host family is invited to contact Jim Rumrill, Chairman 802 380-2766.
