Description
: All skiers will start at the Pocaterra Hut, which is heated and has civilized bathrooms. On the trail, skiers will be able to stop anytime to make clothing adjustments, have a quick snack, a drink, or take pictures. Due to the possibility of getting chilled after vigorous skiing, however, there will be no long lunch break. We will relive the day's events back at the hut, so bring your lunch and a hot drink, and we’ll make a draw for a free trip to Nipika.
