<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>We are planning a snowshoeing/hiking trip at Brainard Lake on the weekend of February 18 (aiming for Saturday but the date is flexible based on the weather). <br>We will meet at 9:30 AM at the Foothills Lab and head out by carpool.<br><br clear="all"><div>The round trip from the parking lot at the Gatewat Trailhead to Brainard Lake (<a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd524916.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.fs.usda.gov/<wbr>Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/<wbr>fseprd524916.pdf</a>) and back is about 5 miles with different options to chose from (walking in the trees or on the street).<br></div><div>Snowshoeing
should be perfect there but for people who don't like snowshoes plain
winter boots should be fine as well (did that last year without any
problems).<br><br></div><div>Snowshoes can be rented in Boulder at e.g. Crystal Ski Shop (12$).<br><br></div><div>If you like to join us please fill out <a href="http://doodle.com/poll/k8irdihtkkfxp8u7">this doodle poll</a> and also indicate your willingness to drive (the road conditions are usually not too bad).<br></div><div><br>Hope to spend a nice day together,<br></div>Clay and Manuela<br clear="all"><br><br><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:small" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="2">Manuela Sauer, PhD<br>Postdoctoral Fellow/Advanced Study Program<br></font><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="2">Research Applications Laboratory<br>National Center for Atmospheric Research<br></font></div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="2">Boulder, CO, USA<br></font></div><div>Office phone: 303-497-2838</div></div></div></div></div></div>
