Why? What? Huh?
Many people will be done with exams by Easter Weekend, and the snowpack will only get thinner from here-so why not ski while there still is some? (and if you're not done with exams, come anyway!)
Three days will mean that we'll have plenty of time to ski as opposed to skiing in all of first day then skiing out the next day.
We'll be heading up to Burton Hut for the long weekend, where it will be cozy and hopefully not too crowded. We might climb one of the Deception peaks while we are there.
While this is beginner-friendly, I would really appreciate a hand in leading from more experienced people-plus, you'll get to get out too and make the club a better place...
If you have any questions, email me (queen-of-all-penguins at hotmail) or on the forums thread.
Date
The pretrip meeting is Wednesday April 20nd, 6:15pm, in the clubroom. If you can't make it, make sure to contact me/work out food groups with someone (unless you're self-sufficient of course). Please don't be late!
The trip is April 22th - 25th, 2011
