We'll have 2 groups/trips on this date: XC skiers (will be separate posting) and snowshoers. This is an ungroomed area so it is possible we'll need to break trail. If conditions are icky, we'll go to Skyway and tromp around there.

Folks coming from the south can meet to leave Montrose Autozone at TBD and we'll have to leave cars TBD at the West Bench TH on Grand Mesa for the end of the shuttle hike, as we start at the Griffith cutoff a short drive away.
