We have a very exciting announcement! We have another NPAD group trip coming up for January 2025!
We have partnered with local Colorado guiding company for a fun winter Itinerary!
This is an extra fun itinerary and a great opportunity to explore Rocky Mountain National Park via backcountry skiing/snowboarding or snowshoeing.
This trip will take place January 19- 25, 2025 and will be a little different because we are offering two itineraries in one trip.
We will have two groups, one will be with Cassie and a guide, for a backcountry skiing/snowboarding trip along with an Avalanche Course to learn how to identify avalanche conditions and recreate safely in the backcountry during the winter.
The second group will snowshoe and cross country ski with Danielle and a guide around beautiful trails inside the park.
We will all be together in the hotel and the last day to do a group activity all together.
The price for the backcountry skiing/snowboarding/Avi Course is $2950. https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/kmaconline/items/575440/calendar/2024/09/?flow=no&full-items=yes

They say love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. Friendships are a form of love. We are so grateful for ours and the direction we share together!

Turns out we missed national friendship day by a month, but today is national wildlife day and national eat extra dessert day. So be kind to our nonhuman friends that we share the planet with and order that second round of cheesecake :)
