Destination – Ft. Collins, Colorado
Worksite: Big Elk Meadows & Loveland , CO
Individual Gear:
Expect temps between 25 & 50 F- this is their snowy season with small to moderate accumulations at night melting by noon each day. Layers and extra pairs of warm clothing might be the difference between a great and a “less than” great experience especially if you get wet. It is unlikely you will be able to be on a work site with less than sweatshirts and under-armor. Coveralls may be the envy of the trip. On Friday morning, a part of our group will be able to go snow-shoeing … again, “layers” is the name of the game.
- Waterproof boots (Tall if possible) – may be working in a creek
- Stocking Cap
- Work Gloves (Preferably waterproof and insulated)
