Join us for a Sunday morning hike, bring your dog if you’d like.
A "first snowshoe trip" for 2024/2025 BSS graduates only, led by BSS instructors. Get comfortable with your skills and learn what CMC SS trips are best for you. Loaner SS kits available. Brainard Lake is our default venue. The trip leaders will choose a venue and let members know details the week before.
Hike the Old Gordon Trail (out and back) starting from the Devil's Kitchen Picnic Area.
This trip is for glacier travel students only. We will hike Mt Flora only reducing the mileage to 6 miles and the elevation gain to approximately 1800ft. Starting from Berthoud pass we will head up towards Colorado Mines Peak and then follow the ridge over to Mt Flora at 13,129'. We will then retrace our steps back to the pass. In addition to the snowshoe hike the group will also practice crevasses rescue skills near Berthoud pass.
This class is only for those who are interested in pursuing becoming a CMC trip leader. It is a prerequisite before leading a Leader in Training Hike and getting signed off as a CMC leader. As we hike we will be going over common scenarios that may arise on trips, spend time talking more about the logistics of being a leader, and discuss next steps to becoming a leader.
