Revision as of 07:36, 16 January 2007

General Information

Ski Day is set for Friday January 19th at Stevens Pass. Hank is providing a pizza lunch at 12:30. We have the Trophy Room reserved for lunch (and hopefully from 9am until 5:30pm). When you are facing up the mountain, it is the leftmost of the lodges. You can probably leave belongings in the room during the day if you like, 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 have a very large group and need to carpool to minimize the number of cars and to make sure everyone gets there. Please edit the wiki below to fill in information about the ride you need or the rides you can provide. Anyone taking a lesson needs to get there at 9 to rent equipment and be on the snow when lessons start at 10. See below for directions and other driving information.

It has been very cold lately, though it is predicted to warm up by Friday. Regardless, 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. If you have extra gear, please check below and help out your fellow CSE snow bunnies.

Should be a great day!
