National Mountain Conference
Golden, Colorado September 14-16, 2000
The first National Mountain Conference, will be held at the American Mountaineering Center and the Golden Hotel in Golden, Colorado September 14-16, 2000. The conference will bring together land managers, conservationists, volunteers, and other interested parties to take a look at human powered recreation and the mountain environment. There will be two days of presentations and round-table discussions followed by a field trip to Vail Pass and Breckenridge. The BSA will be presenting a session on Managing Winter Recreationists on Friday, and two of our board members will participate in the field trip to Vail Pass. Author Edwin Bernbaum will deliver the keynote address opening the conference, and Dave Foreman, will close the conference with his thoughts on mountain stewardship.
The conference is open to the general public but attendance is limited, so sign up soon if you'd like to attend. The two-day session in Golden costs $90, and this includes box lunches and a reception Thursday evening. The field trip costs an extra $25.
