Trip Description

Original plan was Diamond Head.  Access road was closed.  Instead, we went to Gin Peak from Whistler Olympic Park.

Easy day with 7km and 1,050m elevation.

The skiing is secondary to a "relaxing" marathon on skins.  It's a great way to burn off early season legs and holiday dinners alike.  We'll definitely get some turns down Diamond Head and can ski virtually all the way from the summit to the car.

Bring a headlamp and extra batteries.  Sunset is 4:30pm.  We will be coming back down the trail in the dark.

Covid procedures should be followed.  Each participant needs to get themselves to the chain up area.  If needed, we can mask up and carpooling to the parking area. 

4WD and tire chains are required on the Diamond Head access road (as per park rules).
