The folks at Ski Utah have generously offered to provide us with a few of their guides on both Sunday and Monday for interested attendees. This is a great opportunity to find the good snow and to explore the areas of the mountain that you might miss skiing on your own. We have three guides who will lead three groups of up to 7 people on both days. The groups will be broken up by ability, so no need to worry that you will be trapped on a double black diamond with no exit strategy! If you are interested in the RGA grouping you on one or both of the days, please respond to me by this Wednesday with: n Day you would like to participate (Sunday or Monday or both) n If you specify Sunday, what time you will be ready to ski (note that the groups on Monday will meet after the RGA breakfast) n Level of skiing ability (Advanced, Intermediate, Beginner) Once we get all of the responses, we will coordinate with you on where and when you should meet your ski group.
