As a kid, I used to take ski trips with a recreation group. My parents would drop me off at the meeting point, go about their weekend business, and pick me back up when the bus returned, sometimes in the wee hours of the night if the weather was bad.
It was a win-win – they didn’t have to make the eight hour roundtrip schlep, and I made some new friends along the way.
The tradition is alive and well with the Richmond District YMCA, who has been leading safe and affordable trips to Tahoe for over 10 years. They’re organizing ski and snowboard trips for young students in early 2010:
High School trip:
Thursday, January 28 – Sunday, January 31 | Cost: $275
Middle School trip:
Friday, February 19 – Sunday, February 21 | Cost: $250
The cost of the trip includes equipment, transportation, lift tickets, food, lodging, and instruction. What a bargain!
