Details to follow once registration closes.

On Saturday, since everyone is staying in Manson, we will get a morning start and break for lunch at some point either on the trail or at a trailhead. 

On Sunday, we will get a morning start. We will aim to finish around 3:00 in order to have plenty of time for the drive home.  

There is a wide variety of terrain with three trailheads.  We will go at a relaxed pace, warming up on the green and blue trails. If conditions allow and there is interest we may do optional black trails, Zoom (2k) and Outback (6k).  Participants will need to know how to herringbone up and snowplow down.  Skate skiers welcome. 

Day ski passes are $15 per person and can be purchased at the self service fee areas located at the trailheads with cash or check.

The condo that is reserved is in Manson, has a hot tub, is walking distance to town for restaurants, a brewery, and breakfast cafe.  It is available to participants Friday and/or Saturday night.  The cost will be $40 per night for a bed in a shared room.  For a private room with a queen bed $75 per night. For a private suite with king bed $95 per night.
