Stay Warm, bundle up &
buckle in for some awesome

One of the pinnacles of any scouts visit to the Summit is the Big Zip. Participants of the Winter Weekend program will have the very unique opportunity to enjoy a Polar Zip, taking in the beauty of the Summit in winter on their near quarter-mile trip. Be sure to wear your warm clothes!
