Lift ticket only

$49 lift ticket -- a bargain!! $15 for seniors 70+. These are tickets only, not part of a package. Reduced from $65 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
Svet meat
Hank veggie
Joe vegan?
Sam Elliott meat
Colin Scott vegan?
Jesse Dodge meat
Leah Perlmutter meat
Franzi Roesner meat
Peter Ney veggie
Yoshi meat
Amnon meat
Supasorn Suwajanakorn meat

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

Ricardo will collect checks after the event (although you're welcome to pay before as well :). Make your check to "University of Washington."

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 :).

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 (goggles, ski pants, gloves etc.). If you have extra gear, please email people to help fill their needs. You can rent helmets from the rental shop!
