Sunlight Ski Day February 12, 2025
Western Slope Chapter of the Rocky Mountaineers RM

Eight Skiers and Boarders gathered on a chilly day with 4 inches of new snow to share the laid-back Sunlight Ski Area, Glenwood Hot Springs, and dinner.

Getting first tracks on the White River Trail was a joyful experience!

Glenwood Hot Springs was a great happy relaxed hour with all soaking up the new Yampah Hot Springs Pool additions.  Fine Mexican dining after at Frida’s was a delight a well!
