Bromley Ski Trip: February 2023

For the past five decades, Rumsey students, teachers, parents, and friends have traveled to Bromley Mountain in Peru, Vermont to enjoy three days of skiing and snowboarding. This trip is planned in conjunction with the Head of School's Weekend. There are no classes on Monday, February 6 and Tuesday, February 7. Classes resume on Wednesday, February 8 at 9:00 a.m. Boarding students have the choice of going off campus for the long weekend or going on the Bromley Ski Trip.

The Bromley Ski Trip departs on Sunday 2/5 at 8:00am and returns on Tuesday 2/7 at 8:30pm.

Families and Lower School Students Attending Bromley

We welcome families to join the Bromley Trip! Lower School students who wish to attend must be accompanied by a parent. Families should purchase lift tickets, rentals and lessons directly from Bromley Mountain.

We recommend that families stay at the Kimpton Taconic Hotel in Manchester VT which is 9 miles from the mountain. If families are interested in staying with the Rumsey student group at the Lodge at Bromley they should email bromley@rumseyhall.org. The Lodge at Bromley is primarily for the students and faculty and the energy is more like a large dorm than a hotel.

If your family is going to Bromley please let us know by completing this form. We will share more information about the trip with those that reply.

Not Attending?

If your child is a boarding student and will not be attending Bromley, they must be off campus from Saturday, February 4 at 1:00 p.m. until Tuesday, February 7 at 3:00 p.m. Boarding Students may depart after sports on Friday, February 3 and should return to campus by Tuesday, February 7 at 9:00 p.m. Please complete a pass on Orah for your child's weekend plans.
