Snow Sports Merit Badge:
Meet Mr. Galgano at 7:30 pm in front of lodge for Snow Sports Merit Badge - Ski or snowboard Skills Demonstrations. We can review some stuff on a beginners slope, then we'll take one or two of intermediate runs. Hopefully it will only take an hour or so. We will do the BORING STUFF later "on the flats" to save our "slope time" for big snow fun. Let me know you are interested, and I’ll email you more info.
- We should have at least two scouts and two adults for "two-up leadership." Parents are welcome.
- These skills require approximately an advanced beginner to intermediate skill level.
- skiers/ boarders should be comfortable with lifts and up to intermediate slopes BEFORE meeting
