About this trip

Do you like rocks? If so, bust out your hiking boots because you’re in luck: our pre-function has the biggest rocks (and other stuff, too!). Join us for 4 days in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park where we’ll be hiking Cascade Canyon and Delta Lake, floating on the Snake River, getting Western at Jackson Hole’s famous Cowboy Bar, and introducing you to the Sloan community with a themed party at our scenic Lodge. Jonas (MBA ’23) can’t wait to convince you that it’s called “table tennis” and not “ping pong” (don't ask us why he chose this hill) and that the metric system is vastly superior to the imperial system. Meanwhile, Kunio (MBA ’23) will try his best to persuade you that Tidal is better than Spotify and that learning a person’s Spirit Vegetable is the best way to get to know them.

If the trip description isn’t compelling enough, we’ve also written a haiku accompaniment:

Meet Ons the Tetons
Big Sky, Bigger Rock
Pre-f(x) with much nature
Grand Tetons Await
