Upcoming Backcountry Events in Colorado
The Wooden Ski Rendezvous is a great party, ski race and education weekend, all rolled into one! It’s coming up this year on February 26-28. Call Leslie at 970-879-8710 for more info. Watch a 12-minute video of a past Rendezvous on the CMC page or on Facebook.
FORB Group’s Weekend Visioning Retreat February 6 in Columbine at the Tanglewood cabin. The purpose, to create a new advisory board of directors, goals for the next year, 5 years and 10 years. Interested participants should be willing to commit for at least one year. There are beds for 3 couples, 4 singles and then another space for 1 couple and one single at our house next door. This would be similar to a hut trip, where we bring our sleeping bags, coop food and clean up before we leave. Please call Friends of the Routt Backcountry Group Chair Leslie Lovejoy at 970-879-8710 to talk about this.

Volunteers Needed and Spotlighted
Denver Group members Linda Lawson, Beth Dwyer (pictured) and Sarah Thompson and Shining Mountains Group members Marilyn Breithart and Jim Wilkerson helped table at two Winter Trails Day events, speaking with scores of potential CMC members. The new snowshoers attending the events expressed interest in the human-powered winter recreation advocacy advanced by CMC's new Backcountry Snowsports Initiative. Many also signed an open letter of support for CMC's Hidden Gems Wilderness Campaign to protect lands in central Colorado. If you would like to volunteer with CMC's Conservation Department at similar events, emailbsi@cmc.org.
