How many people can you drive (winter tires are mandatory)?
You must login in order to sign up online for one of the BCMC Trips. If you don't have a BCMC membership account then please obtain one. If you'd prefer to learn more before joining then please join as a 30-day Guest member. Some trips are BCMC members only.
I expect a lot of walking in the trees (hence the early start hour), so have some approach boots with you and microspikes as it might be icy until we get to the meadows.
The goal is NOT the peak itself but the slopes around...so no need for any mountaineering gear.
This is a trip for intermediate and advanced BC skiers only. We won't do any crazy chutes but you should be able to ski black runs under any type of conditions.
Please do not signup if you are not able to break trail in rotation, if conditions require that, of course.
Please be considerate and do NOT sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are at least an intermediate skier(can do black runs in any conditions, including trees) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:)
Will be moving at a moderate-fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.
