Killington Trip + Snoe.Down
That’s right! They actually trusted me with the responsibility of writing up,
editing, and distributing this month’s edition of Tracks. This is what happens
when more than half of your board are currently out west, taking advantage of
some fresh Pow! Well the good news is this edition will be short, sweet, and
maybe full of typos!

While we begin to wrap up our local snow season this month our club is getting
in gear to embark on our biggest trips of the season. A group just departed to
Big Sky, Montana where they will enjoy Ski In/Ski Out lodging, a day off to snow
mobile, and possibly an encounter or two with some moose. When our group
out west returns the local resorts will be
preparing for pond skimming, and we
will be preparing for our Annual Trip to
Killington, Vermont. Only this year, with
a twist, we will be attending Snoe Down,
a musical festival hosted by Moe. In
addition to those we also have our
annual snow/spring camping trip in the
mix so don't fret we're still going. I'd like
to put the spotlight on a trip we've been
trying to launch for a couple years now,
MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN. This trip will
take place in early April... if this is
something you may be interested in
please read the trip write up below. For
those staying local, don't forget to hit up
spring break on the slopes!

the past two years they were getting ready to cut us off about this time. Get on out
there, take some turns, and then hop on one of our spring trips to Vermont! They’re
always a blast and you won’t want to miss out.
They’re many things to do right in our own backyard. Wisp, has amazing winter

Late Season Trip

Trip Cost: $1500
Signup and $750 Deposit Due 2/15
For everyone who hates that the season starts wrapping up by the beginning of April, we’ve got a trip for you!
Right now Mammoth Mountain has the largest ski base of any resort in North America! Not only that,
Mammoth Mountain has one of the longest seasons in the States, boasting a season that often stretches into
June. So what better place to go for our late season trip than Mammoth California. This trip will be sure to
keep your season going long after everyone else has hung their skis up for the summer.
If the long season isn’t enough, check the stats and you’ll see that Mammoth lives up to its name by being
simply massive - a vertical rise of 3,100 ft, nearly 400 inches of snow a year, and 3,500 skiable acres!
We’ve priced out a great trip that will get you out on the snow for 4 great days over 5 nights at a time when
you simply can’t ski or ride just about anywhere else. The trip price includes the works – flight, lodging,
transportation, lift tickets, and 2 meals a day.
When : Wednesday, April 3rd – Monday, April 8th, 2013
Where : Mammoth Mountain, CA
Cost : $1500
Note – the trip cost is subject to change and will be finalized once we
get signups. But, we tend to be pretty good with it so changes will be
minimal.
