Pay up! Bring Tomas a check. Click here for details.
We're getting a bus! Click here for details.
Hank suggests that people bring small digital cameras. We didn't get any photos last time, which is too bad. It would be nice to have a group photo and others, we can put up a web page.
General Information
(The first?) Ski Day 2008 is Friday January 25th at Stevens Pass. Hank is providing a pizza lunch starting at about noon. We have the Trophy Room in the Pacific Crest Lodge reserved for lunch (and hopefully from 9am until 5:30pm). When you are facing up the mountain, it is in the leftmost lodge, on the 2nd floor. You can leave belongings in the room during the day if you like, and people can hang here during the day, but it will not be secured in any way, and we need to get our stuff out of there by 5:30. Lockers are available for a fee. If you are renting skis, please use the complimentary ski check at the mountain when you go inside.
We are chartering a bus. Please be at Rainier Vista before 7 am to load. See here for more info.
Apres Ski -- at the end of the day (starting at 3pm) we will meet at the Bull's Tooth Pub for a hot chocolate or (for non-drivers) something stronger. The pub is on the 2nd floor of the Granite Peaks Lodge, the middle of the 3 buildings at the base of the mountain. You can find more details on this map.
It's been snowing a TON recently, so hopefully conditions will be great on the 25th. We will be in the mountains in the winter, so please dress warmly, bring extra layers, and bring a change of clothes (or at least socks). If you lack appropriate clothing or don't know what appropriate clothing is, please post your needs or questions below under ski clothing. If you have extra gear, please check below and help out your fellow CSE snow bunnies. Remember sunblock and hydrate well in preparation.
Should be a great day! Please sign up below if you are coming, indicating whether you need lift tickets/rentals/lessons, by choosing the option that fits and editing yourself into the table under that option. You should also indicate your lunch and bus preferences. Please note that the signups will close later on this week, so please sign up now so we can get an accurate count to Stevens.
Skier's Code
1. Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects. 2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. 3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above. 4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. 5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment. 6. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas. 7. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

Providing own ticket
Choose this if you will provide your own lift ticket, like if you have a season pass. Note that, once you factor in tax, our group rate is the same as the Stevens Advantage Card discount rate. The more tickets we buy as a group, the better perks we get, so we'd prefer Advantage Card holders buy a group ticket (one of the options above).

Pay Up
Bring Tomas a check! The money is being fronted and paid in one chunk by Hank/the department, and we need to pay back. Tomas Isdal (isdal AT cs) is kindly taking charge of collections. You can usually find him in the networks lab 391, and he might deputize other students there to help when he is not around. Please bring him a check ASAP made out to University of Washington and covering whatever you owe for lift ticket/lessons/rentals, plus $15 if you plan to take a bus. On the check, please indicate what you are paying for of lift ticket/ beginner package/ intermediate package/ lessons/ rentals/ bus. Pay up to reserve your spot on the bus, as there is a slight chance we'll end up with more people signing up than can fit, with the overflow having to figure out carpools. Sign ups freeze Tuesday January 22 at 4pm, so you owe whatever you are signed up for at that point.
Bus Info
The bus is $15/person. The bus will start loading at 6:45am at the Rainier Vista pullout near the Allen Center. It will depart at about 7am. Please plan to arrive a bit before that to be ready to load-- we can't wait much longer as we need to get there in time for lessons and rentals.

Note that final details on the bus will go out next Wednesday, so all this is still subject to change.
Ski Clothing
Rentals include ski boots (or snowboard boots, if you go that way). I usually just wear sneakers to the mountain and change into dry socks as I put on my boots. You need a warm hat, gloves/mittens, pants, jacket, maybe a scarf/neckwarmer, ski goggles/sunglasses, and warm long socks (just wear one pair, even if they are thin). Underneath, wear layers for warmth and versatility if it warms up. Wool, silk, polyester, and polypro are better than cotton (which is not warm when wet). Ideally, the gloves, pants, and jacket should be waterproof or at least water resistant. Track pants/warmup pants work in a pinch. For more information on recommended clothing, go here: [1].
If you don't have clothing appropriate for winter sports, post your needs here. If you have extra gear, please email people to help fill their needs.
EXAMPLE: Ethan Katz-Bassett - I am unhappy with my color options. Looking for a blue coat and pink pants.
Roee: short (and maybe stupid) question from an unexperienced: is a helmet part of the rentals?
Ethan: I always wear a helmet and recommend it to everyone-- you never know when Hank might get out of control and run into you. I know one person who had her life saved by her helmet, and I've been knocked out twice even wearing mine. You can rent one for $8+tax at the rental shop, no reservation necessary. You can also rent lightweight ski pants and jacket for $33+tax-- bring layers to wear underneath.
Brian Ferris: I have a full set of snow gear, but I can't go to Ski Day this year, so if you need anything, let me know.
Ethan: Nick Murphy has 2 pairs of ski goggles people can borrow if they want. He is not going to Ski Day, but will try to bring them to his office on Thursday Jan 24. Please email him (nmurphy) if you are interested.
