Meet at the west end of the Elk Lot Trailhead by 5:30pm. Please note that the Elk Lot is free in the evenings. Around 5:45pm, we will walk up the Beaver Cr Recreational Path together to the base of the Lower Beaver Creek Mountain Express.
We will then put our skis on and skin up Leav the Beav. It will be a relaxed pace for about 1 hr heading up. We will then transition and ski down. We will have apres at Southside Benderz around 7/7:15pm and have some social time.
If you aren't able to make the uphill, or perhaps you'd rather meet some people after rather than on the hill, please feel free to just join us for the apres social! We're a real friendly bunch.
All abilities and fitness levels welcome. We move in groups so no one is left behind and attendees can move at their own pace together. For us the goal of these meetups is to offer opportunities for folks to get together, nourish current friendships or make new ones, and get outside. We just ask that you try to have a bit of an understanding on your gear as our ambassadors are not pros. We can help point you in the right direction before the event, and we can event help set you up with discounted demos at Cripple Creek Backcountry.
Reminder: This is not a professionally guided event, we're just a group who love skiing/riding and socializing and are doing what we can to connect the community. Riding is at your own risk.
Suggested gear: helmet, headlamps, layers, and water. Of course your touring gear too! Skis, skins, poles, etc...
No uphill pass is required.
