Single? Skip spending Valentine's Day alone and come ski uphill with folks from the Gore Range Gravity Alliance.
How Meetups Work:
Parking at the Vail Transportation Center is Free after 3pm. We recommend parking by 5:30pm to gear up and walk over.
Meet at Gondola 1 at 5:45pm - We'll be moving by 5:55pm, so don't be late!
We will uphill for about one hour. We will group into 2-3 groups based on speed, but ambassadors from GRGA will make sure no one is left behind!
Then we'll get together from some Apres at Two Arrows Coffee Bar after (about 7:45pm) with drink specials and a DJ starting at 9pm!
This is meant to be a fun social uphill to celebrate those who are single on a day usually dedicated to those who are not. This isn't meant to push anyone into awkward dating moments, just a laid back evening with friends, no pressure.
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.
