Participant Information

Details will be discussed in WhatsApp chat. Unless otherwise specified, assume that days out touring will mean we meet up before sunrise and are back in the city after dinner. This MAY be a shorter day, but don't count on it in case its awesome out there and we're all having a blast (or traffic sucks etc)

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)

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

-skins

-poles

-skis

-stoke for the day!

Optional:

-hot tea or beverage

-foam butt pad

-change of clothes/socks for after

-snacks to leave in the vehicle for after

Location TBD; we will discuss in whatsapp depending on conditions.
