It is hard to believe that the Winter Kickoff is this coming Wednesday October 21, 2015 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. This is shaping up to be the biggest and best winter kickoff we’ve ever had! The Winter Kickoff will be held at The Proof Nightclub, 7800 East Hampden, Denver. The free food for the evening will be provided from The Fresh Fish Company.

There will be a cash bar, and plenty of free door prizes donated by various vendors. Every attendee to the Kickoff gets a free ticket for a prize drawing for showing up, and another free ticket for a drawing for every trip you sign up for at the kickoff. There is no charge to attend this event, and it is open to both members and non-members so bring a friend or 2.

Up The Creek trip leaders will be on hand to answer any questions that you may have about our winter ski trips and will be taking reservations and trip deposits. You can pay for trips by check or credit card. The Winter Schedule will be posted on the UTC Web site about 10 days prior to the kickoff. This year's weekend trips include:

• Beaver Creek
• Steamboat Springs
• Snow Mountain Ranch
• Telluride
• Crested Butte
• Aspen

Representatives from Colorado Ski resorts will be present selling discounted lift tickets, and other offerings. Kickoffs are always a fun and exciting way to hook up with old friends and make some new ones, so plan on attending this year’s Up The Creek Winter Kickoff.
