TRANSCEIVER TECH TALK with ELDORA
January 18 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join VNTRbirds for a kickoff to the winter backcountry season! Whether you are backcountry curious, a seasoned traveler, or somewhere in between, come out to Eldora Mountain Ski Area, Thursday, January 18th and get stoked for the upcoming season. This is great for novice backcountry explorers or a refresher before you dust off your backcountry gear and head out on your next tour this season.
You’re welcome to bring in your own transceiver, but not necessary to participate, we have you covered. Sit back and soak up the information over a beverage.
This is a women specific workshop. We welcome femme, transgender and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in femme-centered spaces.
