Hi all you snow lovers. Are you feeling it? A ginormous snow year is expected, and our club has wonderful opportunities waiting. Let’s begin with the hut trips. High Lonesome Hut trip is from January 18-23rd. The ski in is under 3 miles with little elevation gain. This trip is full but if interested, put your name on the waitlist. We have also secured the Continental Divide Cabin from February 6-11th. It’s less than a mile in and perfect for beginners. Currently two spots remain and are reserved for beginners. These spots will be held until the December general meeting and if unfilled will then be open to general membership. For more information, contact Guy Miller, mailto:HutTrips@nmccskiclub.org.
We have three options for yurt trips this year. Spruce Hole has been so popular that we have added a second trip. The dates are January 9-11th, and February 7-9th. Less than 3 miles, it is perfect for those wishing to expand their skiing repertoire. Grouse Creek Yurt is scheduled during Presidents weekend from February 14-16th and is much more challenging with over 1000’ elevation gain over 4 miles. Registration begins December 1st at 5 pm for all three trips. More information can be found under the calendar tab on our website. For questions, contact David D'Antonio, mailto:YurtTrips@nmccskiclub.org.
Finally, the annual car trip journeys to Frisco, CO, from February 26–March 1st. There are many opportunities for backcountry (both tele and XCD), Nordic and downhill skiing. Come for the skiing, the camaraderie, and fun times out on the town. Our après ski meetings are world famous! Registration also begins on December 1st at 5pm. More information is under the calendar tab or by contacting Hillary Armstrong, mailto:CarTrips@nmccskiclub.org.
So, mark your calendars, sharpen your edges and wax your skis. Come join the fun!
