Ski Trip Anyone?

As announced at the last class by Sempai Dave Freese, if anyone is interested in a Judo club ski trip.

The below website has the rental form information at the bottom. Please download fill it in for all people getting rentals, and bring to Judo on Wednesday. If you have a scanned and want to email to me
http://www.catamountski.com/group-info/groups.cfm
Trip info:
1) Date Sat. March 7
2) $24 for lift ticket
3) $24 for ski / snowboard rental.... which comes with a 1 hour lesson. The lesson starts at 9:30, you should be at the ski school area at least 10 minutes in advance.
- Would only suggest snowboarding for people who have done it before... it takes at least 3 days to learn to snowboard
- You can also rent helmets.... I believe it is $5.
4) The place opens around 8 in morning we will leave from the Brookside parking lot at 6:00 am
5) Dress Warmly:
- if you have "snow pants / bib
- ski jacket.
- If you have ski socks please use those. Sweatsocks are not recommended, they hold moisture not heat.
- Other suggested clothing: a) Insulated underwear b) sweater/fleece c) warm waterproof gloves d) ski hat
6) if it is going to be sunny day sun tan lotion for your face, and definitely lip balm.
