Someone always asks what to pack for the trip. There are several principles to keep in mind when you're standing in your bedroom with an empty bag and a full closet and dresser in front of you.

• You've got to get whatever you pack from the bus to your room, while balancing skis and boots with your other arm, at a ridiculous hour of the morning. The conclusion is that it is wise to pack as little as possible in one bag or suitcase.
• Be comfortable. You're in the car (or bus) for a long time, so jeans or comfortable slacks are probably the best choice. Nobody dresses up. A complete change of clothes for each day may be more than you need to pack. A typical weekend wardrobe could be summed up as follows:

In the car or buss: Jeans or fomfortable slacks; skirt or turtleneck and/or sweater; ski jackets, boots or shoes (depending on the weather), pillow or small blanket (if it's a long trip).

On the slopes: Bibs or whatever ski pants you have to wear (no jeans or sweatpants, please! - they aren't water repellent). Long underware, turtlenecks, sweaters, ski jacket, ski gloves, hat, goggles, or sun glasses; wool socks and ski boots. Just remember, dress warm and layer, layer, layer!

Apres Ski: Jeans or other pants' shirt, turleneck and/or sweater; sholes/sneakers (those worn on the bus if possible); swimsuite and cover-up (if ther's a pool or sauna).

Please remember you'll need to pack your own toiletries and personal items, such as blow dryers, curling irons, underwear and sleepwear.

Please do not bring boom boxes, lap tops, weapons, alcohol or any illegal substances. Remember, less is better.

Also, any valuables brought, are at your own risk.

How much chas to bring: You can spend a lot or a little. At a minimum you need money to cover dinner on the bus trip both ways (usually McDonalds or Wendys etc.) and lunch at the slopes. In addition, you need money for extra momentos such as pins or T-shirts.

* Pizza and soda will be provided at the Days Inn on Saturday night at about 10:30 - 11:00p.m.

* Two to a hotel room.

Everyone under 21 must have their parent's sign a Permission Slip
