Default Skiing all winter, for high school credit

Vermont Public Radio had a news story the other day about a skiing
expedition of high school students across the state of Vermont on the
Catamount Trail. The skiing is part of a semester-long educational
program run by an organization called Kroka Expeditions. After skiing
to Canada, the students are to canoe down the Connecticut River back to
southern Vermont. The program also includes skills such as constructing
some of their gear (tent, canoes, etc.) and instruction about the
natural environment and local history. According to the Korka
Expeditions Web site, the program qualifies as a "recognized independent
school" in Vermont for full academic credit.
