The 103rd year of planting trees at the Rocky Mountain Region Memorial Grove will take place on Saturday May 4, 2024. The program will start at 10 am and we will be honoring thirty-seven individuals including thirty-four who passed away in 2023 and three folks who will be added to the Memorial as “Not Forgotten” (see attached list). We have family and friends of most all the honorees coming, so we are anticipating a large attendance. If you plan to attend and have not let us know you are coming, we ask that you let us know by sending a simple email to Tom L. Thompson at thom46pson@gmail.com by Wednesday, April 12.

2024 Rocky Mountaineer Ski Day
The Rocky Mountaineers 11th Annual Ski Day on February 8 was a great success. More than 20 Rocky Mountaineers and friends met at the Mary Jane base and skied at Winter Park Resort. The day was partly cloudy with 8-10 inches of fresh powder. We enjoyed great skiing, renewing friendships, and meeting new friends.
The event was a success thanks to Bjorn Dahl for coordinating and Doug Laraby with Winter Park Resorts for providing discounted lift tickets. Click the pic to enlarge and see the participants names.
