- Food. The Lodge has a fully equipped kitchen, but is relatively small.  To minimize the chaos and to be sure we're done with dinner before the evening program starts, I suggest we organize Saturday dinners together. 

• We'll talk about how we'd like to organize this
  
• and note if anyone has special dietary needs (e.g., vegetarian, etc.).

- Carpool.  Most folks will be coming from the Boulder area, so we can explore carpooling possibilities at the meeting. 

• Related to this -- the last bit of road uphill to the Station can at times be slick with icy, packed snow, presenting problems for some cars.  This is handled easily by cars with 4-wheel/all-wheel drive and good tires.

- Information about staying at the Mountain Research Stn.

- Equipment - bring your equipment questions. 

• Personal field equipment list
  
• Note that each week has an "Additional Gear" list for that weekend's activities (e.g., see next)
