Join Sitzmark and other MSC members on a day trip to Spirit Mountain (www.spiritmt.com) in Duluth for an incredible price! Nonmembers may attend for $10 more. (This is just a few dollars more than the box office price adult weekend lift tickets!) This unbeatable price for a day of skiing includes the lift ticket, deluxe coach bus ride, a healthful breakfast on the bus and snacks (such as hard-boiled eggs, bagels, orange juice, and granola bars). AGENDA HERE

Rentals and lessons are available for an extra fee ($29 skis or boards; pay there; let me know when you sign up if you want lessons so they can have instructors available). In the last few years, we’ve had 60+ skiers each time (including many many new people) and everyone wanted to go back again!

Board the bus at 7 am at the Honeywell parking lot (2600 Ridgway Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55413; park on the southwest side of the complex, by 35W). Get cozy as the bus will be full (50 people). We’ll leave at 7:30 am sharp and serve breakfast once we get rolling; we plan to arrive at Spirit Mt around 10am.

We will be in the Slopeside Room on the lower level next to the hill (like 2018). Upon arrival, just gather your equipment and head to the room to get your lift ticket from Sally and Nancy, settle in, change clothes, and relax throughout the day (we reserved the room all day but cannot guarantee complete security). (We will have a server from about 11am-3pm so you can order lunch.) Pick up your rentals and arrange lessons. For the return trip, the bus will board Spirit Mountain at 5 pm for a 5:30pm departure. We plan to be back to Honeywell around 8pm. This day trip will sell out, so sign up ASAP. To guarantee your seat, you must pay online or contact Sally to arrange for other payments (like cash or check at the Holiday Party).

Organized by Sally Hed Dahlquist, sally@immunochemistry.com 612-554-0864; co-hosted by Nancy Peterson 507-206-7882 of Traverskis. For just $5, buy a green Sitzmark bandana so we can find each other on the slopes! I’ll have them available on the bus.
