Pitt Program Council Loves Snow Sports!We took advantage of the cold Pennsylvania weather and traveled to Hidden Valley and Seven Springs for Late Night Snow Tubing and a day on the slopes! 56 students were able to go to Hidden Valley for an evening of tubing down our private slope. The Pitt students who attended enjoyed the activity as well as not having to wait in long lines! At Seven Springs, students spent an entire afternoon either skiing or snowboarding at the resort. Some students decided to take lessons and others braved the slopes on their own. The 120 students enjoyed the snow that day.
