Come ride with Eagle County commissioners in Snowmass

Fancy a governmental day on the slopes with county leaders?

On Friday, March 14, residents are invited to Snowmass Village to ski and ride with Eagle County commissioners, according to a news release. 

This annual event follows a series of successful outings in the past, and the gatherings are intended to facilitate casual conversations among community members outside the structure of formal meetings, the release states.

Participants are asked to gather at 10 a.m. at the Brush Creek Park and Ride, or at 10:30 a.m. at the base of the Elk Camp Gondola in Snowmass Village. The commissioners plan to stop for lunch at around 12:30 p.m. at Base Camp Bar & Grill.

“Initially organized in 2014, the outings are a way to connect local leaders with people who are passionate about the outdoors,” the release states. “The networking and outreach events have resulted in a broad representation of the community, bonded by an appreciation of what drew many of us here.”

No RSVPs are needed to participate in ski and ride days. Participants must assume responsibility for their own equipment, lift ticket, and lunch. An intermediate ability level is advised.
