Silent Auction Highlight: Polar Star Inn
Polar Star Inn is a privately-owned backcountry hut, booked by 10th Mountain Division Hut Association. Built in 1987, the Inn is a unique, tall-standing structure with a large deck that looks west over the Colorado Plateau: a sunset watcher’s paradise. There are six private bedrooms and (limited) running water that makes kitchen work a snap. Located just below timberline at 11,040′ it offers access to excellent skiing and hiking on New York Mountain, and access to the rugged Holy Cross Wilderness.
Don’t miss your chance to pass by the lottery and book the Polar Star Hut for your next adventure! Bidding for this stay is in-person only!
Film Highlight: Fire Forest
In August 2020, the Cameron Peak Fire was racing uncontrollably towards communities in northern Colorado. As it reached two forest restoration treatments, a near-miracle occurred. The treatments gave firefighters a foothold to stop a portion of the fire. This story shows us what’s possible if we learn to live with fire.
Eagle County Wildfire Collaborative will be joining the discussion during intermission to highlight the intersection between fire and local rivers.
