Our accommodations are within walking distance of the mountain, and we also shuttle the scouts to the base on a regular schedule.
Lodging, lift tickets, and rentals are included in the event. Scouts can earn the Snow Sports merit badge, as well as learning to ski and snowboard.
Our accommodations are at The Shawnee Peak House, a 10-bedroom self-service guesthouse. Each room features a private bath.
