Hello everyone!!
Please be sure to forward this email on to anyone going on the trip to be sure that they got it. It has EVERYTHING in it that you will need for the trip. Please take a few minutes to read it over in its entirety. Please print this email and bring a copy of it with you on the trip so you have it. It is also posted on our website if you accidentally delete it: http://www.phillytrips.com/trip_page.asp?id=103&pid=332
This is our final email and final information before we leave for Colorado. We have a great group of 35 people traveling with us. Temps will be good (in the 20s & 30s) but not too much chance for snow the way it is looking at this point - but that can always change! That is OK thought since Steamboat got 50" last week (http://www.steamboat.com) and conditions should be excellent. But, be sure to check the weather the day before we leave to plan accordingly.
For communication on the mountain, it is a good idea to bring hand-held radios (information below) to communicate with each other on our own channel. Cell phones should work out there, but hand-helds are easier from past experience. See below for more information.
For those not aware or may have not skied out West before, it is recommended you get to the gym and spend some time on the treadmill. Ok, maybe a little late for that, but try to get your lungs prepared the best you can - go outside for a few last-minute jogs this week or push yourself a bit more at the gym. Also, DRINK LOTS OF WATER WHEN ON THE TRIP. This will help greatly in fighting off altitude fatigue and sickness. Water is really important - you cannot drink enough as it is very dry out there.
We urge people to be friendly and introduce yourself to each other on the trip. Every trip we have done has involved a GREAT group of people. There is a good chance that you will meet new friends and will keep in touch in Philly. Bring some business cards if you got 'em...
If you have any questions, please just reply to this email. We will see you Thursday! GET EXCITED. We are.
