Join UT Explorers on a skiing trip to Mad River Mountain Saturday, Feb. 18, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. <\/p>\n

Tickets for the trip to Zanesfield, Ohio, can be purchased for $67, which includes transportation, ski equipment rental, admission, and a hot beverage. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Students who have their own ski or snowboard equipment will receive a reduced price. Skiing lessons are available for an additional $13. <\/p>\n

The event is open to everyone, and first-time skiers and snowboarders are welcomed, said Xinren Yu, international program coordinator in the Confucius Institute. <\/p>\n

Students can save $5 on the ticket by signing up as a pair of one international student and one domestic student. Tickets can be purchased at Ask Rocky on the second floor of the Thompson Student Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of our international students come from tropical areas and have never seen snow before, let alone [participated in] winter sports,\u201d Yu said. \u201cThis would be a great event for them to experience something different. The event is open to everyone, and we hope to get a diverse group of students.\u201d<\/p>\n

UT Explorers is a group that works to enhance the linguistic and cultural competencies of campus learners and scholars while promoting a culture of lifelong learning by providing opportunities for collaboration and engagement with campuses and communities.<\/p>\n

Any questions about the trip can be answered by contacting Yu at xinren.yu@utoledo.edu<\/a> or call 419.530.5268. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
