UPCOMING EVENTS:
Cross Country Skiing Custer Gallatin National Forest
Saturday, Jan. 25
Time: 10 am-2 pm
What: Rendezvous Ski Trails, Custer Gallatin National Forest
When: Saturday, January 25
Time: 10 am to 2 pm
Cost: $8 per person (members) for a full day ski pass
($8 + $25 annual dues for new Mountain Belles who have not yet paid.)
Host: Paula Power
Co-host: Michele Eckhardt
The trailhead starts right in West Yellowstone at the intersection of Geyser Street and Obsidian Avenue and that's where we will plan on meeting and purchasing our permits. From there, skiers can select from over 30 km of trails that are professionally groomed daily for skating and classic skiing. The high elevation of the area allows for plenty of snow and the groomed trails range from easiest to most difficult.
True to the Mountain Belles mission, all levels of adventurists are welcome! You can be sure there is someone at every level, and our mission is to include everyone with no one ever feeling left behind! So, come on out and enjoy the snow!
Bring your own snacks, lunches, water, small pack, etc. Dress appropriately for a fun active day on the trails (layers, layers, layers!) Bring your own skis and equipment if you have it or plan ahead to rent locally at Roundhouse, Chalet Sports, or Bangtail. (Or in West Yellowstone at Freeheel and Wheel the day of.) If you are renting locally, you might want to consider getting skis the evening before to make carpooling easier. It is about an hour and 45 minute drive, so groups will need to leave Bozeman at about 8 am.
*See carpooling below.
Option to stay overnight in West Yellowstone. Paula will reserve rooms with king-sized beds. We will bunk 4 women to a room (depending on total number staying overnight). The overall cost will be divided evenly. We will stay at the Best Western Desert Inn in West Yellowstone. Once we have a total number, cost will be determined, an email will be sent, and people can use Venmo, Paypal or Zelle to pay up front. The official event is 10 am to 2 pm. Those who stay over may choose to continue skiing and ski again the next day.
Sign up: Email Paula Power at paularaypower@gmail.com and get a confirmation in reply. If there is a wait list, you will be notified that a spot has opened up and you will then receive a confirmation email. If you cannot attend or need to cancel, please let me know immediately as we will likely have members waiting to get in!
In your email, please state your status with Mountain Belles (paid or unpaid dues).
Carpooling: Let Paula know if you are interested in carpooling. We can caravan from one or two locations once we know who is going and who is interested in staying overnight. Details will be emailed once the event gets closer.
We will continue to take participants for the day trippers. Overnight is capped at 12.
