Upcoming Fun-Fit Adventure

Snowshoe to CMC Cabin and Brainard Lake

When : Saturday, Jan 28,  8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Meeting Location: Justice Center parking lot at 8:30 a.m. - 6th St and Canyon in Boulder. We will meet here and carpool to the trailhead together.

For Who:  Our fun-Fit Adventures are free and open to the community so feel free to invite some friends. Our goal is to help adults get outside and get active.

What to Bring: Insulated boots (comfortable waterproof hiking boots with good wool socks should also work), warm clothes (preferably consisting of several layers), wind shell, wind pants (any nylon type pants as you will kick a lot of snow up the back of your legs), hat & gloves, day pack, sunglasses, water bottle, sunscreen, sack lunch and snacks and a dollar or two for tea or cocoa at the cabin.

You will also need snowshoes. Poles are also handy as they help with balance especially if you venture into the untracked powder. You can always use ski poles (preferably cross country poles) if you have them..

Snowshoe rentals are available at a number of spots and here are a few to try. You can pick up the snowshoes the day before in the afternoon or evening. Note that this information was compiled in 2008 so there could be some errors but it is a good starting point for you.

Snowshoe Destination: CMC Cabin near Brainard Lake

The Adventure: This snowshoe trip is appropriate for adults of reasonable fitness level.  If you are able to hike 8+ miles during the summer months then you should be fine on this snowshoe hike. We will enjoy a social pace and no one gets left behind. The distance is 6.2 miles round trip over moderately rolling terrain. We will be on a snowshoe-only trail so we won't have to worry about skiiers zooming by us.

No previous experience required. If you can walk you can snowshoe.
If you have not tried this ever-increasingly popular sport before definately consider joining us.

If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to contact David at 303-550-3491.

Space on this trip though is limited to only 8 so make sure to register early.
