Ski
Trip Checklist
Updated
May 09, 2004
To
Scouts and Parents: Please printout and use this checklist. Everyone
should bring all items on the list. Do not bring items you don't need.
Here are items we would like to emphasize.
-
The
key to keeping warm (but not hot) on the ski slopes is to layer. If
you get to hot, you remove a layer. If you get to cold, you add a
layer.
-
Tennis
shoes are no good when going on a winter ski trip. They get wet (and
soaked) too easy. Some kind of water resistant shoes or boots are best
(for use when not on the slopes and for the drive up).
-
Bring
lots of Sun Block. Sun Block is needed even when the weather is
overcast.
-
Bring
a good pair of Sunglasses or Ski Goggles with a safety strap. Many
people have gotten snow blindness. This is very bad news. Sun
protection for your eyes is NOT an option.
-
Unless
you have your own ski gear, you must rent your skis, poles, and boots
here in La Canada at Sport Chalet (or other local store of your
choice) since one of your parents will need to sign the rental form
and release.
-
Food
is expensive on the mountain, so allow $20-25 per day for food.
We usually eat out one evening and have pizza at the cabin the
other night. There is no charge for the use of the cabin, and
the cost of transportation is your share of the cost of gas for the
vehicles driving up to Big Bear.
- According to
the Snow Summit website, the lift ticket rates this year are $48 for
adults (ages 20+); $36 for teens (ages 13-19) and $15 for children
ages 7-12 yrs. Those who go up Thursday evening would have to
buy lift tickets on Friday and Saturday.
