Breaking News!

Planning to drive? Check the conditions and tips for driving in the snow.

General Information

The UW CSE Ski Day 2011 is Friday March 25th at Stevens Pass.

GETTING THERE:

Let's try to  CARPOOL as much as we can. 

LUNCH AND ROOM RESERVATION:
Hank is providing a pizza lunch starting at about noon. More info coming soon!

THE AFTER PARTY:
More info coming soon!

GEAR UP:
We've been getting some pretty good snow, so hopefully conditions will be great on the 3rd. Even though weather should be great for spring skiing, wind + snow + mountains = unpredictable, could be sunny, could be darn cold. So please dress warmly, bring extra layers, wear a water-resistant layer on the outside, 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.

SIGN UP:
Should be a great day! Please Sign Up below, indicating whether you need lift tickets/rentals/lessons, by editing yourself into the table under your preferred option. You should also indicate your lunch preferences. Signups will close sometime during the week of ski day.

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.

Sign Ups

Prices include tax, unless otherwise noted.

Please select one of the following sections, based on your needs, and edit yourself into the table in that section:
Beginner package, including lift ticket, lesson, and rentals
"Beyond beginner" package, including lift ticket, lesson, and rentals
Lift ticket and rental, no lesson
Lift ticket and lesson, no rentals
Lift ticket only, no lesson or rentals
Providing your own ticket, as with a season pass

Skier rentals: choose ability from the following (used to set binding tightness):
Type 1- I have never been or don't know how to turn.
Type 1 Cautious skiing on smooth slopes of gentle to moderate pitch
Type 2 Most recreational skiing
Type 3 Fast skiing on slopes of moderate to steep pitch

Snowboarder rentals: choose "regular" if you do not know.


Beginner package

$89 Coca-Cola Easy Starter package. Includes 2 hour group lesson, rental, and beginner lift ticket. Note that the lift ticket is only good at beginner lifts, so do not get this if you know how to ski and want access to intermediate terrain. Lessons start at 10:00 a.m., and they recommend you show up 1.5 hours before the lesson.

Please edit the section to add yourself to the table below.

Name Pizza lunch: meat/veggie/none Ski/ Snowboard Gender Age Height Weight Shoe Size, with M/W/Child Ability (skiers only) Left or Right Handed (boarders only) Regular or Goofy (boarders only)
Jane Skier veggie Ski F 26 5'7 130 F8 Type 1 - -
Joe Boarder veggie Snowboard M 26 5'10 160 M9.5 - Right Goofy
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Intermediate package

$142 "beyond beginner" package. Includes 2 hour intermediate/advanced group lesson, rental, and all-mountain lift ticket. Lessons start at 10:00 a.m., and they recommend you show up 1.5 hours before the lesson.

Please edit the section to add yourself to the table below.

Name Pizza lunch: meat/veggie/none Ski/ Snowboard Gender Age Height Weight Shoe Size, with M/W/Child Ability (skiers only) Left or Right Handed (boarders only) Regular or Goofy (boarders only)
Jane Skier veggie Ski F 26 5'7 130 F8 Type 1 - -
Joe Boarder veggie Snowboard M 26 5'10 160 M9.5 - Right Goofy
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Equipment Rental

$28.50 rental, no lesson. Rental includes either snowboard/boots or skis/poles/boots.

Please edit the section to add yourself to the table below.

Name Ski/ Snowboard Gender Age Height Weight Shoe Size, with M/W/Child Ability (skiers only) Left or Right Handed (boarders only) Regular or Goofy (boarders only)
Steve Dude ski M 23 6'0 180 lbs 12.5m type 1 ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Lift ticket only

$48 lift ticket -- a bargain!! $28 for seniors 62-69. These are tickets only, not part of a package. Reduced from $62 regular lift ticket, and good on all lifts. Choose this if you want a lift ticket, but not a lesson.

Please edit the section to add yourself to the table below.

Name Pizza lunch: meat-eater/veggie/none
Hank Levy veggie
... ...

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).

Please edit the section to add yourself to the table below.

Name Pizza lunch: meat-eater/veggie/none
Jane Skier Veggie
... ...

Pay Up

Info coming soon!


Carpool Signup

If you are planning to drive and have extra seats in your car, add yourself to the first table. Keep in mind that you may be driving in snowy/icy conditions and you may need chains. For updated road conditions check the WSDOT website and take a moment to refresh your snow driving skills. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive to Stevens pass from UW in good weather/traffic conditions. Plan for not-so-good conditions :)

Please indicate where you will be leaving from, what time you will leave Seattle, what time you will leave Stevens, how many more people you can fit (please update this as your car fills), and whether you can fit skis/snowboard (basically, if you have a rack, or if the skis will take up a seat). If you like, you can also indicate who your passengers are. Please try to fill up your car by contacting people who need rides above.

If you are looking for a ride, email an available driver to make arrangements, then add yourself to their riding column here. If there are no available drivers, add yourself as a row to the second table. Hopefully, by Friday, the second table will be empty :).


Driver Name email@cs Neighborhood you're coming from Departure times Number of seats available Type of gear you can carry Who's riding
Star Student foobar@cs Sandpoint around 7am none lots of cool people
... ... ... ... ... ... ...


Rider Name email@cs Neighborhood you're coming from Time leaving Seattle - leaving Stevens Number of riders Type of gear you need to bring
Needa Ride me@cs Northgate 1 skis
... ... ... ... ... ...

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, check out this Snowboarding Gear List.

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 $9+tax at the rental shop, no reservation necessary. You can also rent lightweight ski pants and jacket for $37+tax-- bring layers to wear underneath.
