January Meeting Report: The club kicked off the New Year in rousing fashion! Everyone was in high spirits and we once again enjoyed excellent attendance!
The meeting was highlighted by an exciting presentation by Allison and Palmer Thornton from Powder Addiction. This is Colorado’s newest Cat Skiing and Riding adventure. This company offers Guided Snowcat Skiing and Riding in addition to Snowmobile rentals in the Winter Park/Berthoud Pass area. Go to www.powderaddiction.com or call 970-726-9247 for details and more information. We want to thank Sheila P. for inviting the Powder Addiction to speak, and we want to thank Allison and Palmer for driving out from Winter Park to share their stories and enthusiasm with us, not to mention the awesome drawing prize!
