Dear CSSA members,

The hiking club is going to organize another ski trip this Sunday, Feb. 12th, which might be the last ski trip for this ski season. For the trip, we will depart around 8:00am and return around 5:30pm. Temperature at the ski resort will be around 55F. So please dress accordingly. Other useful stuff include water-proof pant, gloves, hats, and sunglasses.You can either bring a light lunch with you, or eat in the resort cafeteria (around $5 per person).

Again we have some tickets available for transfer this time. The price is

$43 for one day usage of the 3-peat ticket. This includes a 2-hour lesson,

complete skiing or snowboard rental, and an 8-hour lower mountain lifting

ticket. For intermediate and advanced skiers, we also have some 8-hour

full-mountain lifting tickets available for transfer for $30 each (does not

include ski/snowboard rental). If you are interested, please send me an

email for reservation.

The driving direction to Mountain High ski resort is to go I-10 East for

36 miles, then I-15 North for 25 miles, take the exit to 138 West

toward Wrightwood (a left turn) and continue on it for 7 miles, then

turn left to CA-2 West for 5 miles. The ski resort has two parts, east

resort and west resort. You will see the parking lot for the east resort on

your left first. Park your car there, and then board a shuttle to go to west

ski resort. We typically meet at the place where we board the shuttle in the

east ski resort.

If you are interested in joining the trip, please send me an email for

reservation. Please include your name, address, phone number, your ski level

(beginner/intermediate/advanced), if you need pickup or can provide carpool

seats for others (and how many), and if you need a ski ticket. Cost for

carpool will be shared among participants (around $7 per person, to the driver directly).

BTW, photos for the previous ski trips can be found in the hiking club web
