Meeting Time: 1:30 PM

Max # People: 20

Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money

Difficulty Level: Moderate

Powder Ridge is also the only mountain in the area to offer snow biking, which is a ton of fun and requires almost no skill beyond being able to ride a bike. 

I listed the event for 1:30 PM because of a lunch commitment, but for those who want to get a jump start, the mountain opens at 9 AM.  I would suggest getting there early because the rental lines might be long.  We can meet in the lodge at 1:30 after everyone gets their gear together.  For those bringing their own skis and boards, helmets are also required on the mountain.  I have a light blue helmet so look for me.  Or, PM me to get my cell phone if you want to take a few runs first.

The mountain offers regular "lodge" food, but for those with a more distinguished palate, the restaurant and full bar upstairs at Fire at the Ridge is excellent.  

If you have questions, PM me.  Hope to see a big group there!
