Conditions are pretty ideal in Ripton right now with a couple inches of fresh powder atop 6 inches to a foot of frozen granular, and temps remaining below freezing with perhaps another inch or so before this weekend. In fact, you can ski just about anywhere, especially on the secret trails of Ripton! This tour would also be a great warm down after the Rikert Random Relays earlier in the day. Secret Trails of Ripton Tour, Saturday March 26, 1:30 pm, intermediate level tour (This is a joint CTA tour with Frost Mountain Nordic): Join me in exploring some of the hidden beaver meadows and most beautiful patches of forest in Ripton! With clear skies, we'll also get views of Mt. Abe, Breadloaf Mtn., Worth Mtn., and peaks of Romance Mtn. throughout the tour. This is a 3 to 4 hour, 13 to 15 km, intermediate tour leaving from my house in Ripton. Both the terrain and length of the tour are suitable for intermediate nordic skiers. Due to the fact that this tour takes place exclusively on hand-tracked trails, wider back-country skis will be very slow. For questions about the tour and for directions to my house, contact Andy McIntosh, 802-388-8376 or andymac@together[dot]net |
