Crotched Mountain Ski Trip:

Final notice - final payment must be paid this Thursday night and equipment rental/liability release forms turned.
 
At this time, there is one full vehicle leaving from the Sacred Heart Parish Hall at 3:00PM on Friday.  These folks will be checking in and taking care of all the paperwork. Everyone else will need to look for Mr. Cunningham upon arrival to get their ski tickets and/or rental equipment.

As a reminder, the program includes Saturday morning breakfast and the Troop will be providing lunch (sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit & drinks). Everyone is on their own for Friday and Saturday night dinner and any snacks during the day.

As a rough estimate, we should be arriving back in Middleboro on Saturday night between 8 and 9 PM. Scouts can text as they get closer to Middleboro.

We'll be sleeping on the lodge floor so everyone should bring an air mattress or pad and a sleeping bag.
 
The current weather forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies with a low of 22F Friday night and cloudy skies with a low of 27F and a high of 30F during the day Saturday.
