Leaders' Ski Trip Info

The letter attached to this e-mail is the same document in the e-mail, but in an easier-to-print for. Thanks.

 

January 24, 2008

 

     I just wanted to send out this letter as an overview of this weekend’s event – our Ski Trip to Sugar Mountain Resort.

 

     We will be leaving from the YMCA at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. I know this is early, but it is almost exactly a three hour drive to the slopes. In order to get our lift tickets, rentals, and lessons, we need to get up early so we can get the most out of our day of skiing. (And I’m being patient because my friends and I used to leave at 3 a.m. in order to start skiing by 7 a.m. in West Virginia when I was in High School).

 

     All of your ski rentals, lessons, lift tickets, and hotel are already paid for, so leave the big bucks out home. All you need money for is gifts, lunch on Saturday, and if you want snacks when we stop for gas. The hotel will provide breakfast on Sunday morning, and we will be back before lunch. Dinner will also be paid for.

 

     A special note for people renting Snowboards!!! A $400 deposit needs to be put down in either cash or on a credit card to rent a board. All money will be returned to you after you turn back in the rental equipment. Ski rentals do not require a deposit.

 

     After our lift tickets expire, we will head to the Comfort Suites in Boone, NC to get changed and cleaned up before dinner. We will leave at 9 a.m. on Sunday in order to be back at 12:30 pm.

 

     Please bring the following items:

-         Ski attire (Gloves, Hat, Pants, Jacket)

-         Money for extra items and lunch

-         A change of clothes when we get back to the hotel, and one for Sunday morning. Temperatures in Boone will be in the 30’s so bring warm clothes.

-         Toiletries

 

     Here are some important addresses and phone numbers for your parents to have this weekend.

     Along with the Leaders’ and myself, our Assistant Advisor and Afterschool Coordinator Shaina Fahey will also be attending the trip. We will be meeting up with three other Leaders’ Clubs from Atlanta on this trip, so there will be lots of adult supervision on the slopes and in the hotel.

 

So a quick overview of the important times:

 

Saturday

6 am: Leave Morrison Family YMCA. (Meet at the busses as the YMCA will not be open yet)

9:15 am: Arrive at Sugar Mountain

4:30 pm: Turn in rentals and head to hotel

6:30 pm: Dinner

 

Sunday:

7:30 am: Breakfast

9 am: Check-out and leave Boone

12:30 pm: Arrive back at YMCA

 

 

Please do not hesitate to call me on my cell phone at anytime if you have any questions. If I do not pick up right away, it may mean that I’m just going too fast down the mountain to hear the ringing. Thanks so much.
