3rd Annual Big Sky Ski Weekend

This is great opportunity to come to Big Sky and have a lot of fun.  The normal cost for a student ticket is 99.00 plus 3% sales tax is 101.97 a day (Just lift ticket).  Adult tickets are 119.00 plus 3% sales tax is $122.57 (Just lift ticket).  This package is valued at over $550.00 per person on the mountain. Our scouts can go for a greatly reduced price of $90 and get a merit badge!! Thank you to Morgen Ayres with the Cinnamon Lodge for reducing fees so we can stay with the same price and stay in a great place!

Lodging
We will be staying at the Cinnamon Lodge in Big Sky. This is an event center that has a large dining room, no bedrooms or bunk beds.  We ask that the scouts and adults sleep in tents on the grass (Snow) outside. Scouts are responsible for camping gear and setting up tents. Scouts and Adults are welcome to use the lodge anytime.  If an adult or scout would like to sleep inside this will be in the dining room.  All sleeping bags and cots must be put down after dinner and pickup up before breakfast. This space is needed for program and dinning.  The cost is the same if scout sleeps inside or outside.  We will have to follow BSA youth protection policies in the lodge.   http://www.cinnamonlodgeandevents.com/   This is a different lodge from last year.

Registration

Each scout must fill out the rental form and the snow sports school release form.  We do need the rental form even if your scout is not renting equipment.  We still need the skier level and if the scout is snowboarding or skiing.  This is to know a count for the ski school.  We cannot take your registration without the release forms. We plan on capping registration at 100 so sign up ASAP.
We will close registration by 12-31-2017 and all fees must be paid by this date.
If you have a scout that does not have the funds, no problem.  Have your scout master send [email protected] an email and the scout will get a full scholarship at no cost.  Thanks to the ski team.
