Synopsis
Vicky Alfred - Trip Organizer
This is a beginner friendly winter camping/ski trip to Needle Peak. Seeing as the trail in is rather steep from the get go, some skinning experience is preferred.
We will decide a destination in an email faff tomorrow night when we know the avi forecast. A reminder to email me if you are still interested in a trip for the sake of a trip. It is hopeful to run an Elfin Lakes or Tailor Meadows trip.
Pre-Trip Meeting

- It is very important that you attend the pre-trip meeting as we'll be deciding on rides, accommodations, food groups, etc. We'll also decide the final number for this trip and we'll go over important details and skills.
- If you can't attend the Pre-Trip meeting but still want to go contact Vicky at valfred(at)gmail(dot)com and one of the drivers to make sure you have a ride.
