Troop 20 Ski Trip


Troop 20 will be heading north for the weekend of January 19th – January 21st  2018 to the Mount Abram Family Ski Resort in Greenwood, Maine for a 2-day snow sports activity weekend.  The troop will be staying at the American Legion Hall in Greenwood, just a few minutes from the ski area.  The troop has been going to Mt. Abram for over 10 years and many of our Scouts first learned to ski at Mt. Abram.  Parents and siblings are also welcome on this trip.

The Troop will provide transportation for the weekend, while Scouts and family members will need to cover the cost of food, lodging, lift tickets, equipment rental, and lessons as listed below.  All prices below are PER DAY.   Advanced skiers may wish to purchase an All-Mountain lift ticket but the West side only is perfectly suitable for both beginner and intermediate skiers. 
West side only Lift Ticket              $26 per day
Adult All mountain Lift Ticket     $39 per day
Youth All mountain Lift Ticket    $32 per day
Equipment Rental*                        $21 per day
Helmet Rental**                             $6 per day
90 minute group lesson                $25 each
Learn to Ski Package***               $74 per day
Lodging & Food                              $40 per person ($20 after subtracting $20 deposit already paid)

*Equipment Rental is boots, skis/snowboard and poles only (no helmet)
**As required by BSA, all Scouts must either bring a helmet or rent a helmet – no exceptions!

***Learn to ski package includes West side only lift ticket, Equipment rental, helmet, and a lesson.

Everyone going on the trip that will be skiing or snowboarding needs to complete the Mt Abram liability form.  Anyone needing to rent equipment needs to complete the rental agreement.  Please download and fill out the Liability and Rental forms and bring these along with your payment to the January 4th Troop meeting.  The absolute final deadline for these forms and payment will be the January 11th troop meeting. 
We will depart Friday late afternoon/early evening and will arrive back home Sunday late afternoon/evening.  Plan on bringing some money for a mid-way meal/snack stop on both Friday and Sunday.  We will determine the departure times and vehicle assignments at the January 11th meeting. As everyone who has gone before knows, the Mt Abram trip is a great weekend and we hope everyone can attend.   Please see Mr. Sanford with your forms and payments or ask any of the leaders if you have questions.
