Ski Day – Friday, March 7th at Winter Park Resort
85 Parsenn Rd, Winter Park, CO 80482

Request to AttendMembers
Login to RSVPThe date and venue have been confirmed for the DAB’s 2025 Ski Day, mark your calendars for Friday March 7th at Winter Park! There are resorts other than WP where we could hold this event, but it makes the organizers happy not to have to reinvent the wheel and it only takes an hour to get there from the Dinosaur parking lots (a great place to carpool) located at the Morrison exit on I-70. Also, there are a surprising number of DAB skiers with IKON passes, so nobody should end-up paying the regular daily rate due to some level of discount.
Paul Rizzo and Robin Whitelaw, who know WP like the back of their hands, have again volunteered to be our guides. If you are comfortable skiing on blue runs you will fit right in. We will ski a couple laps together as one big happy group before Paul gathers together the diehards to head over to the iconic bump runs of Mary Jane and Robin (a certified ski instructor who is happy to provide pointers to those interested) will lead another group that prefers skiing less aggressive terrain. And no problem if you want to rip the mountain on your own and rejoin the group for a 2pm après ski.
If this sounds good to you, feel free to sign-up now and block out Friday, March 7th in your calendar to spend a fun day together with some of your fellow DABers. As we get closer to the event we will share more details, like where to park and where we’ll meet for breakfast … and all that good stuff.

James Creasy, croquet master will provide some quick training in croquet rules and etiquette, break us into teams to compete for trophies, and then off we go on the journey to the croquet championship! The cost this year to play has yet to be determined. Wine, beer, sodas and water will be provided. Note that the park rangers do not allow any glass in the park. So, if you decide to bring your own beverage, which you really do not need to do, please don’t bring glass. Apparently, the wrath of the rangers can be severe. We should be done by 6:30pm. There will be a max number of participants allowed, but at the time of posting this, that was not yet known.
