Hello Snow Tortoises! This will be our kick off event. Hollyburn Peak trail is an out-and-back trail, approx 4 km each way (8 km total, with a elevation gain of ~430 m. There may not be snow at the base but we will most definitely find snow higher up and at the top. Snowshoes may not be necessary but please bring them anyway so that we can explore off trail. Bring microspikes if you have them. Bring 10 essentials, lunch/snacks, and at least 1L of fluids. Waterproof layers. Sitting pad if you like. Poles. Complete gear list to be discussed in planning call.
We can plan car pooling in the planning forum or via chat. If you choose to drive yourself, we will meet at the NORDIC area of Cypress Mountain at 10:30 AM. (not to be confused with the downhill parking area!). Plan for a 4-5 hour outing. IF it is really miserable and rainy we can do a quicker ascent and descent and then head somewhere dry for snacks.
