Vermont Ski Trip What a great trip this was!  The skiing was phenomenal, the food was great and plentiful, and the memories we all built will be everlasting. 

No injuries to report for our Scouts this year - thank God!  However, our adventurous ski club host Joe Decker did sustain a few bruises and cuts attempting to do a helicopter over the 30 foot cliffside.  He normally lands this jump just fine, but visibility was a bit poor...  Check out the picture - let's just call the cut a shaving mishap!

Please thank your Scouts for their contributions and positive attitudes. 5:00 AM starts at the lodge in order to be on the slopes by 8:30 AM - without any adult coaxing!  A special thanks to our adult leaders, our Troop's certified ski instructor, and our "Lodge Mom".  Must say that we all might have gotten a bit spoiled on this trip by Liz and Lisa Also, many thanks to Mrs. Whittle for shopping and pre-cooking all that bacon and chicken - delicious!

So, who is in for next year?

Vermont Ski Trip Signup Available Our Scouts have expressed interest in repeating last year’s successful ski trip to Vermont. We are already in discussions with The Ocean Ski Club to nail down a workable dates, possibly again the week after Christmas or mid-February. We have a lot more planning to do, but would like to gauge interest now before proceeding too far.

The basics:

  • Three days of skiing (last year we skied Pico 2 days and Okemo 1 day.
  • Overnight accomodations at the Ocean Ski Club lodge in Chittenden, VT.
  • Full cooking facilities and a great place to hang out after a hard day of skiing.
  • Room for about 15-18 Scouts.
  • This kind of trip only works with a good amount of adult leaders – a minimum of 5.
  • Pricing is still TBD and depends on what mountains we ski and amount of scouts (to spread common costs). Last year, the cost was about $150 all-in for the tickets, breakfast / dinners, and lodging. Reasonably speaking, I expect it to be a bit more this year, but we all want this to be as affordable as possible.

If your Scout and/or you are interested in this trip, please take a few minutes to sign up online. You will be hearing more about this trip in the coming weeks.

Klondike this weekend! Yes we are having a Klondike and there's going to be snow! (lots and lots of snow!). The road has been plowed and the caretaker (Bill) will be onsite Friday to apply sand and salt to the road.

We'll do the best we can with parking and trailers, please be understanding as there is a lot of snow at RVYC.

Looking forward to a great Klondike -

Klondike - Drivers Needed Based on the number of scouts signed up for the Klondike, we will need to have a couple of parents willing to help drive the scouts to the event on Friday nights and to also meet up with them on Sunday morning and drive them back to the municipal building.  Don’t have exact counts or exact times yet, but based on weather predictions and being a tRound Valley on another snowy, icy weekend in the past, I suggest parents with 4-wheel drive volunteer.  In addition, we usually need a truck to put the sleds in.

If you are able to help with transportation, please let Liz know whether Friday or Sunday is better for you and by Thursday I will determine who needs to drive when.
