Troop 88 & 3088's Annual Ski/Snowboard/Snow Play Trip is HERE!

This year we also invite all non-Skiers/Boarders to join us and come play in the snow at the lodge!

This annual trip is always a Scout favorite whether your Scouts Skis, Snowboards or just comes to play in the snow. 

The Troops will dive up to Show Low on Friday night and stay in the First United Methodist Church in Show Low.  We wake up early on Saturday and drive to the Ski resort where Scouts can either Ski, Snowboard or just play in the snow all day and play board games in the lodge. We then head back for group dinner at the church and an evening of games and fun. On Sunday we will drive back to Gilbert, arriving around noon.

Scouts should plan to bring their favorite board game or card game to play on Saturday after we get back from the slopes. A detailed packing list will be sent in advance of departure. 

The base cost of the trip is $XX per Scout, $XX per Adult.  Scouts will need to be sent with $30 cash for Friday night dinner($10) and Saturday lunch on the mountain($20). This $30 amount is required whether or not your Scout will be skiing/snowboarding. 

If your Scout will be skiing or snowboarding, there are an additional cost due to the Troop for the lift ticket we buy as a group and for any equipment rental needed. The lift ticket prices vary based on your Scout's age and whether they are also taking half day lessons.  Equipment Rental prices vary based on Ski vs Snowboard.
