If you are renting skis at Plain Valley Hardware, please arrive soon enough to complete that transaction and be ready to ski by 10AM.

Depending on snow conditions we will actually start skiing up at the top of the valley at the  Clear Creek Trailhead/Thousand Trails Campground but MEET me at Plain Valley Hardware. We'll make start location decision at that time.

This will be a fun, casual, laid back tour.  There are a few hills but all are pretty gentle.  The cool thing about this XC ski is that it is quiet, beautiful, and generally not crowded.

Ski rentals are available at Plain Valley Hardware Store.

Trail Passes are required.  Cost is $20/day for adults.  Buy at the store

Maps, passes, rental info available at:  HOME | Ski Plain

Assuming we start at ~10:00AM we should be back at our start point by around 2:00-2:30PM.

If the group wants to we will have an optional rehydration/refueling gathering someplace between Plain and Monroe.  Location, type, etc.  TBD
