Scout Skiing Dates 2021
Skiing has great compatibility with social distancing!
Skiing - like everything else - will be a little different this year due to the pandemic. Most area ski resorts are not offering scout ski dates (and scout ski rates) this year, which does make skiing more expensive. Most chalets will be closed - with the exception of their restrooms - so plan to eat in your vehicle as well. On the plus side capacity restrictions should lead to less crowded hills this winter! Also by not worrying about scout ski days we can look at any days we like for skiing this season.
As last year, we are looking at days at three local ski hills - each about 1 hour by car from Plymouth. We also have one cross country ski day on the calendar for those who would like to join us for that.
!!! Please RSVP with full payment at least 2 weeks in advance. You can contact Assistant Cubmaster Lee Parsons on this by email lparsons42@gmail.com !!!

Saturday January 16 - XC Ski Day!
We will also have a cross country ski date on Saturday January 16th! We will pick a location closer to the date, based on snow conditions. Plan to RSVP 1 week in advance; contact Mr. Parsons with any questions. Location will likely be Baker or French park if the snow is still good, Elm Creek if it is not (Elm Creek makes snow for some of their XC trails, though trail pass prices are higher there as a result).
If the snow is still good in February we might also do XC on Sunday February 21.
Please contact Assistant Cubmaster Lee Parsons (lparsons42@gmail.com) with any questions.
