Skip Trip 2027
Details
The Troop 1865 family ski trip will be Jan 29-31, 2027 at the Canaan Valley Ski Resort in West Virginia (https://www.canaanresort.com) - about a 3 hour drive. Here is a link to a general overview of Canaan activities: https://www.canaanresort.com/ski-winter-activities
Unlike most other Scout events, this is a family trip so you will either need to attend with your Scout or arrange to have them attend with another family. There will be no coordinated troop activities. Just families at the same place and time. But encourage you to be together! Ski, snow tube, ice-skate, pool, game room, food...
Prices
Lift / Rentals: Prices for lift and ski rentals are available on Canaan's site. They are puchased separately from the room booking. Standard 1 day with rental prices are $135 for adult (13+), $105 for youth (6-12).

Alternative, you can rent from a 3rd party in Canaan for earlier/later hours. Might save some, but less convenient.
