Pulk (winter sled) seminar

Do you participate in hut-, ice climbing-, or winter camping-trips? Carrying the bulky and heavy gear required for winter activities or multi-day trips in the mountains has always been difficult. Modern-day outdoor-sportsters have taken notice of equipment development and transportation used by peoples of the far North for centuries - the sled (e.g., sleighs, snowsleds, or sledges). Pulks now find popular use in winter trips in Colorado. This seminar by speaker Ron Stokley will briefly cover the history of pulks as well as the features-of and considerations-for a good sled. In the past, sportsters had only two options: very expensive, foreign-made pulks; or DIY (Do It Yourself) builds. Now a US company has kits that may be purchased. Attendees may opt to purchase sled kits or components after the clinic, at a discount.

For those attending in person, please meet at the Golden Fire House at 911 10th Street, which also happens to be the address for City Hall.  The administrative Fire Station 21 is the first building to the west of the Golden Visitors Center and there is a large bronze statue near the front door.  Once inside, please look for the "Training Classroom" located on the second floor.

After 5pm, parking is free in front of City Hall and on 10th St.  Visitors may also park in the Golden Visitor center lot.  Please do not park in the Fire Department lot - those spaces are reserved for first responders.

*We anticipate an online connection for those that cannot join in person.
