High Country Veterans Adventures will host a winter hike and ski to Mayflower Gulch for veterans Friday, Dec. 4.

The event is open to vets of all ability levels and modes of travel, including skiers, splitboarders and hikers using snowshoes or traction devices like YakTraks. The hike is 2.8 miles each way with 1,400 feet of elevation gain.

The event will have a limited group size due to Summit County public health orders. After participants register, a trip leader will reach out as a point of contact for the event. Participants are required to fill out an accident waiver.
