Ski Trip 2024

On this trip, we go up to Tahoe and spend the weekend skiing and enjoying the mountain atmosphere. We will be staying in Mr Hein’s condo complete with a full kitchen, beds, a fireplace, and a hot tub. On this trip, participants spend their day at skiing Northstar in buddies or groups. Each buddy pair or group is free to ski, eat, or rest freely so long as they stay on the mountain. Additionally shuttles to and from the mountain allow participants to ski for as long as they want and return to the villa as soon as they are done without having to wait for the rest of the troop. On top of that scouts have the opportunity to earn the snow sports merit badge. Overall this is a fun, relaxed trip for all abilities of skiers, snowboarders, and Tahoe lovers.
