This fall join SEP, Backcountry Bonds and the new Upslope Après Outpost in Bluebird Market for this backcountry community building event.
Calling all powder hounds, uphill warriors, and anyone stoked about the backcountry scene! Whether you’re fresh to the skin track or a seasoned backcountry boss, this night is for you. We’re throwing down a community meet and greet where you can swap stories, find new ski partners, and get real about what we can do to make the backcountry in Colorado even better.
This event isn’t just a one-off—we’re launching a new nonprofit (Backcountry Bonds) in Summit County to keep the stoke alive all year long. Our mission? To bring more free connection and educational events to our backcountry community, so everyone has the chance to get involved, learn, and make the most of our beautiful playground. And we need your help! We’re on the lookout for board members, helping hands, and passionate people ready to make a difference.
We’ll kick things off with a casual meet and mingle, so you can connect with potential partners for your next dawn patrol or powder day. Then, we’ll dive into a laid-back, open-floor convo about everything that matters to us out there—from safety practices to trail etiquette, to those unspoken rules of the skin track. Got a gripe? A great idea? A burning question? Now’s your chance to share it. No topic is off-limits; it’s your community, so let’s shape it together.
We’ll wrap things up with a fun mixer to help you find your backcountry crew for the season. Grab a drink, bring your questions, and let’s turn this chat into action. Plus, if you’re pumped about the idea of building something bigger, we’d love to chat about how you can get involved with the nonprofit. This is where the future of our backcountry community starts with you.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in interactive discussions, hear from industry experts, and network with fellow entrepreneurs in a supportive environment. Whether you are looking to expand your professional network, gain valuable insights for your business, or simply connect with like-minded individuals, this event is perfect for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, innovation, and success. Don't miss this chance to be part of a thriving community dedicated to fostering economic development and entrepreneurship in Summit County.
