Highly recommend SWAT to families considering a great high school memory."

"I have been going on the Swat El Nino trip to Salt Lake City, Utah for the past four years. This is a trip that was something that my friends and I looked forward to every year during our high school career. I believe that this is an amazing way to get away and have the time of your life with all your closest friends as well as the opportunity to ski/snowboard the some of the most prestigious and world renown mountains that the U.S. has to offer. Aside from the skiing the themed night events at Salt Lake's largest venue, Club Sound, provide outstanding light shows that back some of today's most popular artists and MCs, which have included Three Six Mafia, E-40, and Andre Nickatina."
