Optional Carpool: 05:45am at Wooly Mammoth Lot Section EE

More snow is coming on Friday, so let's take advantage with some backcountry skiing/boarding at Berthoud Pass. We will meet at 7am, do a brief planning and transceiver check and then head up the skin track. You can plan on somewhere around 2,000' of elevation, but it depends how the group is feeling. Safety is our top priority, but look for good snow! Optional post-tour lunch and coffee at Empire's Edge in Empire. *This event is weather and condition dependent, so please check the event thread to get any updates.

The Berthoud lots fill early, so arrive by 7:00am to ensure parking. Or meet me and others at Wooly Mammoth lot at 5:45am to carpool.

This event is capped at 10 people, so please update your RSVP's Accordingly.
