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.

KICKING HORSE (EXPERTS ONLY TRIP)
Location not specified yetKICKING HORSE
Note: About 10 people are signed up for this Kicking Horse trip through another group.Kicking Horse is primarily an expert mountain (known as Canada's "Steepest Ski Resort"), so this trip is not for everyone.
Group Discounted Lift Tickets and Epic Full Pass:
We were able to negotiate to have group rate lift tickets for people joining on this trip, at least for some of the days. The group discount should be about 20-30% off of lift tickets, but more info to come on that as we get closer. Epic FULL Pass is required (or else purchasing lift tickets). Note that the Epic Military Pass does not work at partner resorts.Dates
We have about 100 people signed up for a preceding Banff/Revelstoke trip, but that trip is full unfortunately. This trip will be on the two days following the Banff/Revelstoke trip but you may come in early or stay longer. We will plan to ski Monday and Tuesday at Kicking Horse, and then people will either fly home Tuesday night on Red-eye flights, or Wednesday morning, from Calgary.Lodging:
We will be staying at the Holiday Inn in Golden, Breakfast is included.Low Cost!
Currently lodging for 2 nights is forecasted at under $150 per person with double occupancy in rooms with 2 queens. This is subject to change if the exchange rate shifts by more than a few percent, but as of now, people could get some money back at that price after the trip.Reserve your spot: Send $150 to John via
- Venmo: @harperjohn (do NOT pay for goods or services, pay as friend)
- Zelle or Paypal: ask for phone or email
Cancellation: Fully refundable until December 1st, after which we will need to be sure to have a replacement, or an even number of people for the hotel rooms.
Flights and Ground Transportation:
Everyone will need to book their own flights. We have a google sheet for coordination of flights and ground transportation and there is a tab showing flight options. Use the google sheet to enter flight information and to look for rental car shares. Passports are required, and there are restrictions on entering Canada if you have been convicted of a DUI in the U.S.GOOGLE SHEET FOR FLIGHTS/CARPOOLS:
