Berthoud Pass for 6-8" freshies (SATURDAY)
Details
SATURDAY Event (we usually meet on Sunday)
Berthoud Pass is #1 for new snow this week. 6-8" on Friday and Friday night. It is forecast to get more snow than anywhere else in central Colorado.
Traffic may be intense, and there will be new snow on the roads. Get there early.
We will ski up Mainline to the weather tower, then traverse west slightly. From there, we'll run 400' vertical laps to the northeast in the Meadows area.
All are welcome. This is a great place to learn if you are new to the sport. Avi-gear is required. No one skis alone.
Please bring a radio if you have one (not required). We will set it to Channel 20 and Interference Eliminator Code 54. There is decent cell service here.
I suggest arriving a bit before 7a - the parking lot fills up fast! Beacon check and cross the road at 7:25a. We will start skinning/hiking up at 7:30a sharp.
After skiing, we'll meet at Empire's Edge Grill and Coffee Bar in Empire for breakfast.
