CANCELED - Pulk (winter sled) seminar

Do you participate in hut-, ice climbing-, or winter camping-trips? Carrying the bulky and heavy gear required for winter activities or multi-day trips in the mountains has always been difficult. Pulks now find popular use in winter trips in Colorado. This seminar by speaker Ron Stokley will briefly cover the history of pulks as well as the features-of and considerations-for a good sled.
