Should I go if my ex is going to be there?

my ex and i broke up about 3 weeks ago. we agreed 2 weeks ago that we shouldn't talk or see each other for a while so that we can get over each other and sort out our feelings. he broke up with me, i wanted to work on it. he was the one who initially suggested no contact, and i agreed reluctantly. since then, i haven't contacted him once. he has skype messaged me, tagged me in photos, likes my post on facebook and included me in a group text that was about football (he knows i don't watch football).

i'm still not over him, but i'm feeling stronger day by day. i miss him a lot, but i want to be with someone who wants me. here's my issue. we had planned to both go on this ski trip on the 29th with a bunch of mutual friends, and i need to decide whether i should go or not.
i don't know how i'm going to feel once i see him. i'm not planning on talking to him until then.
he asked me when we spoke 2 weeks ago if i was going on the trip, and i said maybe and he said he thought he would go. i said i wanted to learn to snowboard and he said that he would teach me.

i am trying to make a pro-con list of whether i should go or not. in a way, seeing him is both a pro and a con. i def still have feelings but i'm not going to chase him. i also don't know how he's going to act around me. he said he still wants to be friends, but also said we shouldn't talk for a while so that we can get over our feelings for each other bc he still really cares about me and is attracted to me.

i don't want to go because it might be painful seeing him, but i also really wanted to go before our breakup and i don't want to change my plans just bc he is going. they are all my friends just as much as his.

i have a bit of time to think it over, but i need to register soon for the trip if i'm going! if anyone has any words of advice, i would appreciate it :)
