Scout Days at Holiday Valley 3/1/25 and 3/2/25 (EARN THE SNOW SPORTS MERIT BADGE)

Troop 286,

Happy winter, Scout Days at holiday valley are upon us again and mother nature has left a lot of snow for you to enjoy.  This event is available to all family members as well and this year if you attend Scout Days you will be offered the opportunity to earn the Snow Sports merit badge as well.  Details are as follows:

• I cannot supervise the scouts that attend so this activity is designed for families to come and provide supervision for scouts.
• Scouts provide transportation to and from the event.
• Skiing or Snowboarding options are as follows for 3/1/25 and 3/2/25

1. Everyone must wear or rent a helmet $10
2. Lift and Lesson Day $47
3. Lift and Lesson Night $37 ages 12 and above for lessons at night
4. Lift Lesson and Rental Day $64
5. Lift Lesson and Rental Night $52 ages 12 and above for lessons at night
6. Lift = an eight hour left pass
7. Lesson = a 50 minute professional lesson
8. Lesson times 10:30 am, 1:30 pm on Saturday 3/1/25
9. Lesson times 10:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm on Sunday
10. Night Lessons on Saturday are 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30 pm  

• Most will need lift, lesson and rental if you do not have your own equipment
• After your lessons James and Dan Dahlke will guide you in the skiing activities needed for the snow sports merit badge
• We will have one off snow class at a later date to complete the merit badge

Please reply to this email if you intend on attending this event and maybe we can organize a group of 286 scouts to attend on the same day which would create its own supervision on the slopes.  For parents that do not ski Holiday Valley has a beautiful lodge for you to enjoy.

Yours in Snow Sports

James and Dan
