Snow Creek Ski Trip
Details
**VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT book your hotels and equipment yet. There have been times where this resort has been closed at the end of January due to unseasonable warmth. In that case, we will just delay the trip to the end of February. The Epic Day passes are good for the entire season once purchased. I will see what the snow base for the resort looks like around mid January. I will also be checking out the 10-day weather forecast on January 20th. If the snow base looks good, and the 10-day weather forecast looks like it won't lead to rapid snowmelt, then I will post on here on January 20th giving the green light for you guys to book your hotels and equipment rentals.**
Winter will here before you know it, so get in on the fun of a ski adventure this January! We will be going to Snow Creek Ski Area just outside of Kansas City in Weston, Missouri. For beginners needing lessons, the best time to get one will be during their 4 p.m. slot. I've included a link below that will take you to the lessons page. Lessons are not yet available for January 30th, so please check back regularly on the ski-lessons link below so you can schedule a lesson for the 4 p.m. time slot on January 30th before they sell out. Because of this 4 p.m. lesson time, we will meet at my apartment at 10 a.m. on Friday, January 30th and carpool up together directly to Snow Creek. Bear in mind that my apartment is in Tulsa, so please leave OKC or the surrounding area early enough to get to my aprartment if you plan on carpooling. Leaving Tulsa at 10 a.m. will give us plenty of time to check in, get our gear, put on our gear and get the beginners to their lesson on time. If you plan on traveling separately, and do not intend to carpool with us, please let me know. After we get done skiing for the day, we'll go check into our hotels, have dinner and settle down for the night.
I will be staying at the Motel 6 near the Kansas City International Airport. I know Motel 6 isn't for everyone, so I've included links to some other hotels that are on the same street as the Motel 6 I'll be staying at. The next day, we'll meet up at 9 a.m. at the Motel 6, go have breakfast somewhere and then head out to Snow Creek for our second ski day. After we've had enough skiing for the day, we'll go relax back at our hotels, have dinner and settle in for the night. On Sunday, it will be time to head back home, but there's no rush or strict time table for when we need to leave to head home. I think it'll be fine just as long as we're back before dark.
I've provided links for getting your Epic Day Passes and renting gear at Snow Creek. For the Epic Day Passes, you will have to create an Epic account before you can buy a pass. After you have created your Epic account and clicked on the Epic Day Pass link below, scroll down until you see the navy blue portion of the webpage. Then, choose the 22 resorts option, choose "no" under the peak dates option, select "2" under the choose your days option and finally the number of skiers option will be below that. If you have any questions or encounter any struggles, don't hesitate to contact me at (918) 906-7803. Once you have booked your Epic Day Pass, please text me, and I will give you the address to my apartment, so you'll know where to go to get to the carpooling. I can't wait to hit the slopes and shred the gnar with you guys!
