Snow is Here. Time to ...GO TUBING !!


Dear Arkers & Friends,

Hope everyone had a fun New Year.
As a last minute decision, some of the Arkers will head up the Snoqualmie Summit for snow tubing this Saturday (1/5), more information here:
We will meet at the Snoqualmie Summit Tubing area by 12:45PM and go for the 1:30-3:30pm session.

If you would like to join, please contact Jerrold at jkl.leong@gmail.com or Sebastian at seb.seattle@gmail.com by Friday 9pm. So, we will make sure to look for you at the summit.

W h a t - t o - B r i n g
  • Dress in layers: T-shrit, sweatshirt, jacket, even a scarf if you are really afraid of cold weather. Yes, I'm chicken, I'm bringing one
  • Gloves: You don't really need waterproof gloves but it's preferred that you have them ...if you want to play snow fight!
  • Pants: Of course, you need to wear pants to go tubing ..! Wear a layer of waterproof pants if you can. It's not end of the world if you don't have them. You'll be sitting in a tube so your bottom don't really get wet.
  • Hat: Yes, the hat will help keep you warm. Wear a cute hat like this one: http://flickr.com/photos/seattle/2150901089/
  • Water & Light Snack: For 2 hours of tubing fun, you will get thirsty or a little hungry. If you don't, then something is wrong with you
  • Ski Goggle: It's Goggle, not Google ...You don't need it but it doesn't hurt to bring them
  • Shoes: Don't wear tennis shoes. Wear something that are waterproof or water repellent You will be stepping and walking in the snow here and there. You do want to keep your feet dry. Your feet will thank you ...oh yeah, wear thick socks. If you don't have any, it's time to get a pair.
  • What Else ??? Sunglasses to shield out the UV ..and last but not the least ...your CAMERA with battery & memory card !!
All in all, if you're a skier or snowboarder, dress as usual. If you're not a winter sport enthusiast, go with my suggestions above and you'll be fine. Looking forward to seeing all of you ...up there!

Happy New Year!
