Meeting place in FC TBD. YOU MUST EMAIL THE TRIP LEADER TO REGISTER FOR THIS TRIP. You SHOULD contact the trip leader before registration opens. This is a "Practice" trip for members getting into cross country skiing, experienced skiers are welcome, but in order to give less experienced folks a shot, I will be holding off on putting experience members on roster until December 16th (that is why I am opening registration on the 16th). NOTE the trailhead is about 2 hours northwest of Fort Collins 

On the trip we will be doing the "groomed" Gould Loop starting at the Moose Visitors Center. 
1. This trip is for folks that have at least been on skis (even downhill if you feel you would be confident on skis). It is not a trip for people who have never been on skis.
2. The trip leaders are experienced and will provide some guidance and instruction, but might not be a good fit if you have never been on any type of ski
3. We will stay on trail (with a couple of very easy small runs for more confident skiers), but it is NOT the Nordic Backcountry/Backcountry Course. 
4. Contact either of the trip leaders if you would like to discuss ski rental or what type of ski you might want to purchase in the future.
