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!

Meet at the west end of the Elk Lot Trailhead at 5:15pm - Please note that the Elk Lot is free after 3pm.

We will walk up the Beaver Cr Recreational Path to the base of the Landing to meet at 5:30pm (please note that the sidewalk can be icy). Then, we will put our skis on and depart at the Landing by 5:40pm.

We'll skin for about an hour. The route will be Leav the Beav up to The Ritz (Buffalo's) for Alpine Social Hour before skiing back down. For the go-getters, you can also skin/hike up past The Ritz up Sawbuck trail and then head down the The Ritz for the social hour. 

Registration (required) + Event Details Here!

This is a free event, but donations to GRGA are appreciated!

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.

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, 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.
