Morning laps on Black Mtn or Mt Strachan at Cypress ski hill. This would be a great opportunity to practice transitioning, layering, delayering, etc.

I have to work at 12:30pm so we would have to start touring around 7:30am, if that's alright. 

Details will be discussed in our WhatsApp chat.

Always leave a trip plan (where you are going, who you are with, what vehicle you are in, when they should expect to hear from you) with someone you trust. 

Required (on every trip!):

- 10 essentials: means of navigating, headlamp, knife, first aid and repair kits, emergency bivy, means of starting a fire, more food/water/layers than you expect to need, extra batteries for your beacon

- avalanche safety gear: transceiver (CHECK YOUR BATTERIES BEFORE YOU LEAVE), shovel, probe

- skins, poles, skis, boots

Optional:

- hot tea or beverage 

- foam pad for sitting on

- change of clothes/socks for after 

- snacks to leave in the vehicle for after
