Ski Trip info.

The following notes for the January trip for snow skiing to Sugar Mountain N.C. are from Mr. Young. We will talk to these tonight (12/8) for those who are present at the meeting. There are still open seats on the bus. If your son hasn't skied Sugar Mountain, NC, it is a great deal of fun and Scouting adventure. For the price, a lesson is provided as part of the package if he hasn't skied before. The Troop have been up there about three times in the past and the adventure is worth the cost for ski boarding or sking. The cost is $150 or less (depending on our numbers -the more we have the less it costs) and that includes room, meals (except for lunch at the ski slope), rental costs, and fuel. Any questions can be answered by Mr. Young. We will collect half the cost for those who want to pay at the Christmas party on Dec 15, the remainder or all of the cost on the day of departure (1/17).
