We'll show up Friday (Dec 14) evening and go by headlamp on the [http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/golden/goldenears.pdf West Canyon Trail] from the Gold Creek Campground to Alder Flats, where we'll make camp. On Saturday we'll head up the trail until the trail starts heading though avalanche terrain, at which point we'll head straight up hill and gain Panarama Ridge. We'll follow the ridge to the snow field, and make camp. Sunday we'll wake up early and head for the summits, hitting both if time permits.
Beginner friendly snowshoeing trip. We'll be heading out (hopefully not too far) for a weekend and camping overnight. Destination is Panorama Ridge / Taylor Meadows (Next to Garibaldi Lake).
 
To answer some of the questions floating around:
 
We'll be going regardless of snow, make sure you bring something to attach your snowshoes to your pack.
 
Skiers are welcome. You have to put up with snowshoe tracks. There'd better not be any bashing of snowshoes though.
 
We shouldn't be heading into any avalanche territory.

==Experience Required==


This trip assumes little to no experience, and is aimed at getting people out for their first summit, but you do need to be somewhat in shape. It would be really helpful if someone who can use an avalanche beacon other than Jeff came along to dig Jeff out in the unlikely event that he gets avalanched, though.
Not much by the way of experience is necessary. Winter camping skills are useful, as is having been on an overnight trip before.

*Snowshoes (they need to be big. The rentals MEC gives out are too small for fresh snow, and normally get used only on trails that see a lot of traffic like Cypress. If you ask them, though, they'll give you tails that provide extra flotation for free. You need these.)<br>
 
*Something to strap your snow shoes to your pack with--you'll only be wearing them half of the time<br>

*Boots with gaiters<br>
*Food, eating utensils
Not much else, otherwise your pack will be too heavy.<br>


We'll need about one stove for every three people. When you sign up, please indicate if you've got a stove.


Please arrange for tent space ahead of time. If you don't have a place lined up in someone's tent, you might just be sleeping in the latrine.
Stove and tent groups should be arranged ahead of time. It's usually most efficient if its done within car groups.

If you are signing up for someone's vehicle, only put your name beside empty numbers. If there are no empty numbers, it means the vehicle is already full. Adding another spot doesn't actually add a seat in the vehicle. Don't give up, though. Most people with cars sign up at the last minute to keep things exciting.
