Meet near the yurts at 9:00 a.m.

This trip will become a required field trip if either the January 26 or February 2 field trips are canceled.

In the event that neither field trip is canceled, this will be an optional social ski--a chance to ski with instructors and improve your technique and skills. We will break into groups based on student abilities and goals  and do tours that will include instruction.  We will end the day with a gathering in the cafe yurt.
