Leadership Ski Day Info

Date:  Friday 8th February

Lift Pass: $22
Lesson: $20  (Leadership could pay, perhaps?)
Rentals: $20 (Aidan has some extra equipment, so do I)

Tubing: $10 for 2 hours

Bus: $5

You could also bring snowshoes (Mrs. Stewart and I have about 5 pair, between us and you can rent them for $10 at Runner's Sole - I think) and try that out.

We really want everyone to come up, so if cost is an obstacle, let us know and we'll see what we can do.  Or, if you really don't want to ski or board, consider tubing and showshoeing.  And bring some cards and board games (and yes, you could bring Yahtzee, Trey).

I'll run it past Mr. Dinsdale tomorrow and get permission forms organized.

What you know and feel strongly about...

Check In Question:

What is the nicest thing you did for someone else over the holidays?  Was it someone you knew or a stranger?
