OPEN SN W
CHASING POW
WITH JOEL GRATZ
Joel really (really) likes three things: Weather, snow, and skiing.
Joel started Colorado Powder Forecast in 2007, and found that
the few years of grad school spent studying mountain weather
patterns started to pay off in accuracy (and more importantly,
missing fewer powder days). By 2011, Joel became known
as the go-to source for snow forecasts and after a fortuitous
meeting with another skiing meteorologist, Andrew Murray,
Opensnow.com was born. OpenSnow is now the preeminent
source for those chasing powder.
Joel came skiing at CMH Galena last Christmas and had the
time of his life. Now, eager to return Joel will be heading to the
CMH Monashee Lodge to ring in the New Year. The Monashees
are world renowned for its deep snow conditions and perfect
fall-line tree runs. The mature and naturally well-spaced forests
lining the Monashee range are responsible for its reputation
among skiers as a tree skiers’ paradise. Along with some of the
best tree skiing on earth, the Monashees is also admired for
its long consistently steep-pitched runs. The Monashees offers
perhaps the most challenging skiing of any of our areas, and is
suitable only for strong, experienced skiers.
Join Joel Gratz at the CMH Monashee Lodge for 5-days of heliskiing or boarding from December 28, 2013 to January 2, 2014.
Joel will heli-ski as a guest throughout the trip and will act as
host during the après times at the lodge. CMH is responsible
for all guiding services. Groups will consist of 4 groups of 11
skiers utilizing a Bell 212 helicopter. All skiers and riders will be
divided into groups based on speed, fitness and ability levels.
