Food/Food Funds: After the Carbo-Load Brunch, the Ski4Life tent will be stocked with snacks and water for participants. The food court will be open for skiers and snowboarders to buy food during the event as well. Please feel free to bring your own food (sandwiches, subs, soup, chips, etc) with you. Roundtop has a toaster if you want to bring your own bagels, but they do not have a microwave available. If you decide to bring your own coffee, hot chocolate or tea, remember that Roundtop does have hot water available for free, but there is a charge for the use of their cups.
Pillow and Sleeping Bag: Since the event is no longer 24 hours, you do not need to bring these for comfortable sleeping. However, the event is still a considerably long 12 hours, so if you want to bring these things to take naps during the day, please feel free to do so.
Clothing: Please be prepared for inclement weather and for Roundtop to be blowing fresh snow. Gloves will get wet, socks and t-shirts will get sweaty (we suggest bringing at least two extra sets of socks and t-shirts). Bring extra long-sleeved shirts, long underwear, and a sweatshirt for off-time so that your body doesn't cool too quickly. Also bring some clothes designated specifically as pajamas for napping during your off time. You do not want to take your breaks in sweaty and wet clothing, or have to put those sweaty and wet clothes back on for your next shift on the slope.
Toiletries: There are no showers available for use during the event, but there are plenty of bathrooms upstairs and downstairs in the lodge to brush your teeth, deodorize, etc.
On the Slope: Don't forget your chapstick, sunscreen, camel pack, and goggles or sunglasses. Roundtop Mountain Sports shop will be open during the day on Saturday for any last minute items. Call (717) 432-9633 for hours of operation.
Anything we missed? Most of you have been skiing and snowboarding for a very long time. You know what you need to bring with you to be safe and happy on the slopes, so bring enough of what you need for 12 hours, and all will be well! Remember, overpacking is better than underpacking when it comes to winter weather!
