Destination 2010: Jackson Hole

The All Cal is a long standing tradition to celebrate the end of the fall and beginning of snow. Every year since 1954, ski clubs from many of the UCs have journeyed around the country in search of amazing snow. This year, our destination is Jackson Hole, and we will be raging the slopes. Our past couple of trips have had upwards of 400 students from all of the different ski clubs. Because the trip occurs way early in the season, we're usually some of the only people on the mountain -- and in the condos -- and the thousand nations of the Persian empire descend upon students swarm over both town and snow.

Dates: December 12th - December 19th, 2010. That means that we leave on the Saturday immediately following finals week and return the following Saturday!

Price: $599 (This includes bus ride, lodging, four-day lift pass, and access to many trip-exclusive events)

Schools attending this year:

• UC Santa Cruz
• UC Irvine
• UC Riverside
• UC Santa Barbara
• UC Davis
• UC San Diego
• UC Berkeley (Sorry Berkeley, we hope you enjoy those finals while we're on the mountain)

This year's All Cal will have all of the standard amenities you've come to expect:

• Round trip transportation via chartered bus
• Four day lift pass good at Park City AND The Canyons ski resorts!
• Sleep in deluxe condominium lodging in downtown Park City that is a single lift-ride (or a 10 minute bus ride) from the slopes
• Daily events and competitions between the schools such as "Race the Mountain", Snow Volleyball, Thumper, boat racing (not the kind with sails, kids), Dirty Dancing, a pub crawl for 21+, and much more!

Price for lodging alone (no tickets included) for a comparable trip to Tahoe:

• Northstar: $1,917.30
• Kirkwood: $1550.00
