$300 per person for three nights including Saturday dinner
$220 per person for two nights including Saturday dinner
DETAILS:
You all voted to keep this trip to the second weekend in December, and we listened! This trip usually marks the official start of the Xplore N More (XNM) ski season.. The best group for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s! If you are contemplating going on trips with members this winter, the goal of this early season weekend is to give people a chance to get to know each other ahead of time in a relaxed atmosphere, on a short weekend.

We are are heading to the town of Killington, Vermont. Since there are often people with Ikon, Epic and Indy Passes within the group, people often ski at both Killington and Okemo, or both. The drive to Okemo is only about 30 minutes from Cascades Lodge and people often carpool.

LODGING: Cascades Lodge at Killington
Like the last few years, we have the entire hotel to ourselves! We are only putting two people per room so that no one needs to share a bed, unless a king is requested (first come first serve). We will pair you up if you are signing up individually as most people do. Please answer if you are open to a triple room since a few rooms have extra beds (some money would be refunded if 3 in a room after the trip). This can help get more people on the trip as we have always filled the hotel. This price includes Saturday group pizza/salad dinner. If you are looking for a single room, or to put three or four in a room, reach out for pricing.

$220 per person for two nights
$300 per person for three nights (including Thursday)

Saturday Pizza / Salad Dinner included in lodging cost
Free shuttles from hotel to ski resort
Free shuttle to Pickle Barrel Night Club on Saturday
Snack Breakfast included at Cascades included (juice, coffee, granola bars)
