Introduction
Here are a few images from outings hosted by the Gay and Lesbian section of The Sierra Club, Rocky Mountain Chapter (GLS) in the winter of 2006. Fingers frequently got a little frozen while removing gloves to take pix and adjust aperture/shutter speeds! On January 21 a cross country/snowshoe outing led by Elaine Johnson ended up at Echo Lake near Mount Evans; the following weekend found a group in Leadville where we visited the Nordic Ski Center at Ski Cooper for cross-country ski lessons - later Jacob and I put skins on our skis and hiked up a downhill trail at Ski Cooper, skiing down at the very last light of day; on February 11, Galen Oellig led a group of snowshoers and skiers to Butler Gulch just outside of Empire, near Berthoud Pass and the Henderson mine. Fantastic day - cold but bright and oh so beautiful! Finally a few images from a snowhoe/ski through the Fraser Experimental Forest in Winter Park, CO during the first weekend in March 2006.
