You can rent locally or at the mountain and there is a discounted price for guests of the Holiday Inn. Please speak with me to arrange rentals or lessons. WHAT IF I WANT TO DO ANOTHER OUTDOOR ACTIVITY? Local options include snowmobiling, heliskiing, ice skating, ice climbing, and more. You are on your own to organize such trips. Some night activities will be arranged. WHAT IS THE RELIGIOUS LEVEL OF THE TRIP? This trip is being organized as a Kosher, Shomer Shabbat trip, but people are welcome to come from across the religious spectrum, as the respect that you have for the observance of attendees both to the right and left of you is more important than how you label yourself. On Shabbos, we are within walking distance to teh Chabad shul. HOW DO I SIGN UP?
