Drivers will be needed to transport scouts to & from.

What: Two days of skiing at Welch Village and one night lodging in a trailside cabin.  Lodging is a communal bunk bed style dwelling.  No running water.  We bring food for lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.  Boys are welcome to use the chalet facilities for meals if they prefer, but all participants share food costs.  Group lessons are available for those who want to learn how to ski/board.  For those scouts already somewhat skilled on the slopes, the opportunity to earn the Snow Sports merit badge will be available.  Boys are allowed to ski on their own for the two days – no group/individual supervision on the slopes is possible.

Costs: Two days skiing and one night lodging = $79/person
Ski or board rental for two days = $45/person
Helmet rental = $5/person per day
Food/beverages = $5 to $10/person depending on menu and number of participants

If total participants is below 5, we will not go.

If total participants is between 5 and 9, the per person cost for skiing/lodging will be $90.

What to do next?  If you are interested in participating, please sign up as soon as possible (Christmas party, January troop meetings).  This event can be funded by scout accounts.  If you don’t have enough money in your account, they total amount for the weekend needs to be in your account before we leave on the 4^th.  There is also a mandatory release form that every scout needs to fill out and have signed by a parent.

If we cannot get enough drivers, some scouts may not get to go, so sign up early.

Weather? We will go regardless (cold, windy, snow, rain, sunshine, etc) unless roads are impassable.  Scouts are required to dress appropriately for the expected weather.
