We are so excited to be partnering with Vail Mountain School to offer one of our meetups for their young women!

Stronger training means stronger impact. This year, we’ve expanded our Ambassador Training into a full-day program, adding critical risk management and deeper operational education to better prepare our team.

We’re raising $2,000 to cover training costs and provide meals for the day. Join us in investing in the people who power our work—donate here

We are excited for our 2nd Strategic Planning!

We held our first strategic planning session in June 2024—and the growth since has been tremendous. Now, we’re bringing our team together again to map out how to continue delivering meaningful impact across Eagle and Summit Counties.

To help make this vital session possible, consider contributing toward our $2,500 goal. Every gift makes a difference— donate here!

New this year! We are implementing 3 speed groups; Mild, Medium, + Spicy.

Everyone has a place at GRGA whether you're a seasoned and speedy uphiller, new to the activity, or like a chill conversational pace. If you are unsure of your pace, we recommend starting with the slower of the two for the first time.

• Mild: Beginners, gals who prefer a slower pace, are returning from injury, etc.

• Medium: Just like Goldilocks, you like things not too hot, and not too cold. Just right for gals in the middle. 

• Spicy: Speed Queens! Are you someone working towards a touring or fitness goal? You like to move quick and are often leading your touring pals? This group’s goal will be to get to Mid Vail within the hour.

We will still uphold our standards of inclusivity and leave no one by themselves.

Ability Level: Though we do welcome beginner uphillers, we do ask you to be familiar with your gear and be able to ski/snowboard downhill. 

Reminder: This is not a professionally guided event, our Ambassadors will be leading the route and keeping groups together, but skiing and riding are done so at your own risk and all participants must have a signed the GRGA Waiver.

Suggested gear: clear goggles/glasses, headlamps (with fresh batteries!), layers, helmet, and water. Of course your touring gear too! Skis, skins, poles, etc...

No uphill pass is required.

Need Gear?

UPDATE! Unfortunately due to lack of snow, we have to CANCEL this event. We hope to see you next winter for another 50+ Uphill!

Ellen Miller is hosting an Uphill Ski/Hike Meetup geared for those 50+ on Wednesday March 25 at 5:30pm. Men and women are welcome, and don't worry, we won't be checking IDs for your age!

All abilities and fitness levels are 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 an understanding on your gear as our ambassadors are not pros.

How Meetups Work:

• 5:30pm: We meetup, get checked in, + get into groups

• 5:40pm: We skin up the resort for about 1 hr in groups (don’t be late!)

• We ski + ride down

• We go grab bites and/or drinks around 7:15pm and connect with one another at what we call an Apres Social

  Registration (required) + Event Details Here!

New this year! We are implementing 3 speed groups; Mild, Medium, + Spicy.

Everyone has a place at GRGA whether you're a seasoned and speedy uphiller, new to the activity, or like a chill conversational pace. If you are unsure of your pace, we recommend starting with the slower of the two for the first time.

• Mild: Beginners, gals who prefer a slower pace, are returning from injury, etc.

• Medium: Just like Goldilocks, you like things not too hot, and not too cold. Just right for gals in the middle. 

• Spicy: Speed Queens! Are you someone working towards a touring or fitness goal? You like to move quick and are often leading your touring pals? This group’s goal will be to get to Mid Vail within the hour.

We will still uphold our standards of inclusivity and leave no one by themselves.

Ability Level: Though we do welcome beginner uphillers, we do ask you to be familiar with your gear and be able to ski/snowboard downhill. 

Reminder: This is not a professionally guided event, our Ambassadors will be leading the route and keeping groups together, but skiing and riding are done so at your own risk and all participants must have a signed the GRGA Waiver.

Suggested gear: clear goggles/glasses, headlamps (with fresh batteries!), layers, helmet, and water. Of course your touring gear too! Skis, skins, poles, etc...

No uphill pass is required.

Need Gear?

Check out our friends at Cripple Creek Backcountry in Avon for demo skis. Sorry Splitboarders - we currently don’t know of local demos for those.
