Participant Information

Side-country to Blackcomb east side (body bag bowl - chuting gallery). 

**Conditions.
Snowy with low visibility conditions expected. considerable avi condition with new snow. 
i’ve been to this area 3 times for the last two weeks; highly trafficked with 25-30 deg tree with some open runs. 

**Ticket. 
You are required Epic pass to upload from Blackcomb as it is not ideal to ski down to Blackcomb base to purchase backcountry ticket from upper lots (6,7,8). I do not think upper lot booth sells backcountry ticket (from my experience last season, but not for sure). 

**Requirement.

Epic pass, AST1, avi gear, low-light goggles, headlamp, strong skiing stills, backcountry experience. 

** Meet.

06:00 in North Vancouver (or St David Church, W Van)
