Schedule of Events

Sonnenalp Golf	$105.00 per person. An award-winning layout takes you to elevated tees with inviting fairways; spectacular mountain views in an impeccably maintained Audubon certified natural setting. CPDA will arrange tee times. Tuesday Afternoon.
Mountain Biking	$45.00 per person - Vail Pass Ride consists of a 12 mile bike ride on a paved path with amazing scenery - 80% downhill and 20% up hill. Easy to moderate. Tuesday Afternoon.
White Water Rafting	$103.00 per person. Action packed stretch of river. One is surrounded by the beauty of Colorado fourteeners as you wind your way through the rapids number 1 through 8. Each class III-IV rapid is followed by continuous white water in between, including a steep ledge drop at no. 5. Fast moving... be ready for plenty of excitement. Definitely a trip where participation by crew is important. Tuesday Afternoon.
Vail Pass Hiking Tour	Complimentary for all attendees. From the trailhead, follow the obvious trail for 1.8 miles up to the falls. Enjoy the cascading Booth Creek and the magnificent views as you hike. Wildflowers flourish in this paradise. Don't take this hike for granted though, you'll still gain a lot of elevation, so bring your hiking boots and a couple liters of water. Monday Afternoon.

Swiss Raclette Dinner (Optional): $75.00 per person. Tuesday Evening.
