About us
20s, 30s, and 40s adventure group, primarily focused around Skiing, Snowboarding, and the Outdoors. Lowest cost trips. Primarily based out of Denver area, but with members who travel with us from all over USA. Goal is for new members to have a sense of community and to experience awesome trips to amazing mountains together.
Often times people's Meetup settings aren't set correctly to receive emails, and if we send you a Facebook Messenger message first, it goes into a hidden section.
Please check your Meetup messenger every once in a while too, especially if you hope to attend a trip or meetup and haven't seen any communication about it.
We have some "sister" groups with a lot of overlapping members that we hope to publish trips and events with from time to time including Xplore N More Philly which is a non-profit group that publishes ski adventure trips all over the world.

More snow is coming on Friday, so let's take advantage with some backcountry skiing/boarding at Berthoud Pass.

Safety is our top priority, but look for good snow!
