If you need lessons or equipment, let the Cresthaven club trip leader know at the time you sign up for the trip. The club trip leader can help make arrangements with the mountain. If you need to rent equipment, you may want to rent from a local ski shop and bring them with you - it will save valuable ski time rather than waiting on line at the mountain!
