TRAVEL TRIP - Ski/Snowboard - Stowe, Vermont

IMPORTANT - Trip requires attendees to book their own airfare and hotel accomodations.

Hey folks - this one is a little last minute and different from my usual events. I realized that my office is closed on Jan 19th for MLK day, so I decided to do a weekend trip to Stowe Ski Resort in Vermont. If you'd like to join me in Stowe - come on out. Note: You will need to figure out your own flights/accomodations (see details below)

## Mountain Facts

• Terrain Difficulty: 16% green runs, 55% blue runs, 29% black runs
• Lifts: 12
• Trails: 116
• Highest Elevation: 4,395 Feet
• Lift Tickets: Epic Season Pass or Single-Day Lift Ticket: https://www.stowe.com/plan-your-trip/lift-access/tickets.aspx
• Parking: N/A (Meet in VT)

Trip Details:

I will be flying out of DCA at 10pm, arriving in Burlington at 11:56pm. I've rented a pickup truck to drive up to the resort and will be packing my own gear with me. I have a small room reserved at the Innsbruck Inn near Stowe. I plan to start skiing at 9am Saturday - Plan to meet at the bottom of the Toll House Double lift.

Stowe is thought of as a resort that caters more to advanced skiiers - it has some of the best backcountry (off-piste) terrain on the east coast. This is not designed as a trip to help with ski/snowboard instruction. However, Stowe does offer both lessons and rentals.

WHAT TO BRING:

• Ski/snowboard gear (rentals available onsite)
• Lift ticket or season pass (available onsite)
• Warm layers, gloves, and goggles (available onsite)
• Helmet - optional (available onsite)
• Snacks, water, and electrolytes (available onsite)
• Steez

LIFT TICKETS: You will need to either purchase an Epic Season Pass or single-day lift tickets. The ticket prices vary, but I recommend purchasing them well in advance as they can (and do) sell out.
