The annual Troop 160 ski trip to Gunstock Mountain in New Hampshire will be held on Saturday, February 2, 2008. Gunstock offers 45 trails for DOWNHILL SKIING and SNOWBOARDING, 50 kilometers of CROSS-COUNTRY trails, 7 chutes for TUBING, and is known for its “guaranteed” Learn-to-Ski program. All equipment is available for rental: skis, snowboards, cross-country skis, snow blades, boots, & helmets. Everyone in the family is welcome! Gunstock has great snowmaking capability and they do an excellent job of keeping the trails covered. This is a great opportunity to get the whole family out for a day of fun in the winter sun.
This year we are again counting on parents to drive and offer rides to others where space is available. It’s a really fun day trip so I hope we can have a great turnout this year. A ski trip information sheet and sign-up sheet will be available at the troop meetings on January 10th and January 17th, and is also downloadable below. All forms and payment are due by January 24th. If you plan on renting equipment, I highly recommended that you submit the forms in advance so that the equipment will be ready for you when you arrive. It goes so much more quickly and you can be out on the slopes in short order.
Margaret Stebbins is the ski trip event coordinator this year. For more information, or to volunteer, please call or e-mail Margaret.
