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.

Synopsis

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.

One last thing, if people have any group gear, generally its a good idea to list it next to your name on the wiki. Like:

1. Conrad Koziol (Stove, tent)

Date

November 29th - 30th

Pretrip Meeting

November 26th, 7:00pm in the clubroom

This may have to be moved depending on whether there is a slideshow.

Experience Required

Not much by the way of experience is necessary. Winter camping skills are useful, as is having been on an overnight trip before.
