Ski Trip to Ober Mountain, Gatlinburg, TN

Departing Fri, Feb 14, 5:30PM / Returning Mon, Feb 17, by 3:00PM

We will sleep in chalets, so no tent camping gear required other than

sleeping pad and sleeping bag. Ski clothes (water proof shell jacket) and winter clothing are very important: thermal underwear, stocking caps, good ski gloves, eye protection (ski goggles or sunglasses), and several changes of clothing as they will be wet after skiing. Ski bibs are great, but polypropylene pants with rain pants over them works well too. Bring a normal set of clothes (non-Scouting) for our evening out to dinner in Gatlinburg.

Estimated Cost:  $475.00 

Includes transportation, food, lift tickets, rental equipment (skis, boots, poles, helmet).  Skipants are available.  Note this is a high-cost event for the Troop so any cancelations after February 5th will result in forfeiture of 50% of the fee.

For this Trip, we will meet at the Scout Compound at 8:00 AM Saturday morning, drive down to the Water park to spend the day, and return Saturday around 8:00 PM. Please have your scout sign up by December 9 (or reach out to me) so that we can get the right amount of Day Passes. The cost of the trip will be $115 ($90 will be for the day pass). Please have your scout eat something before he comes to the compound and have him bring a day pack with a water bottle, snacks, towel, water shoes, change of clothes, and any anything else they will need for the day.
