Although the initial turnout was low with only two students attending, the event received positive feedback, and subsequent years saw increased participation, with 31 students attending in 2018. The organizers learned valuable lessons about timing, advertising, and the need for flexibility in planning, which contributed to the event's growth and success. The Ski Day has since become a staple for the Maine Section, evolving to include group lessons for beginners and generating a sense of community among attendees.
