International Wilderness Leadership School
Weds Jan 27th, Free!
What do Leadership and Wilderness have in common? A lot actually, and the fine folks at IWLS are stopping by this week’s Club meeting to tell you just how much. If you’ve ever been interested in combining your love of the outdoors and practical learning together then you should stop by this week’s meeting to learn more about what IWLS can do for you. Here’s a little more info for you
Trip Sign Ups:
Telluride/Ouray Ski/Ice Climb Weekend
2/12-2/14 $200 members/$220 nonmembers
Telluride is the ski capital of western Colorado, Ouray is the ice climbing capital of NORTH AMERICA. Guess what? You can experience both on this dandy of a trip. Spend a day lapping steeps and deeps in Telluride, and the next getting your vertical climb on some blue ice in Ouray. When else are you going to be able to that in the same weekend again? An swer: you’re not, so don’t miss out. Price includes: Guides, lift tickets, lodging, and transportation. No refunds
Join us at Winter Carnival!!!
No, we’re not running Winter Carnival (talk to DUPB), but we’re making 1000x cooler. To get you ready for shredding Winter Park, the first 100 people sign up via DUPB get a voucher for a ski or snowboard wax and tune job from the Alpine Club officer core (we tune better than your average gear shop). We’re also hosting a gaper outfit contest once you’re up on the hill… cause who doesn’t want to look like an idiot and get a sweet prize for it? Oh yeah, free snow dance lessons too. More details TBA
The Avalanche Awareness Class
Has been rescheduled. Learn all about keeping your wits in the backcountry on Wednesday Feb 17th at 7pm. More Details to TBA
