Synopsis
There are way too many people signed up to fit in one hut. Good thing the VOC has more than one hut.
This is now a trip to the Brew Hut OR the Burton Hut. Why would you want such a choice? So you don't have to sleep in a tent on a wind-scoured ridge while your friends are packed into an only-slightly-more-comfortable-but-very-overcrowded hut. Please see the links to each hut for capacities, and note that the suggested numbers already make a very crowded situation.
If you have any questions about this trip, send me (Katherine Valentine) an email at possum_val at Hotmail com
Access
See individual hut pages for driving directions and ski route.
It would be useful if you vaguely knew how to ski and/or had some winter camping experience, but if not there might be a little bit of type 2 fun to be had. Sphinx Hut access is longer than Brew Hut access. Sphinx access also involves descending some not-so-easy switchbacks. That said, the experienced folks going to Sphinx will wait patiently for you, because we care.
Past trips of this style have taken anywhere from 4 to 17.5 hours to reach the hut (in the good old days before GPSs sometimes they didn't find the hut at all). Days are short and the snow is fluffy - so put your headlamp at the top of your pack.
Date
The trip meeting is Wednesday January 19th, 6:00pm, in the clubroom
The trip is January 22nd - 23rd, 2011
All drivers should have all passengers installed and be driving over the Lions Gate Bridge at 6:00am. It is the passengers responsibility to contact the drivers. We will meet at Tim Hortons at 7:00am.
Equipment List
See Gear_lists#ski_hut_trip. You need this stuff to survive, really.
Note that you can borrow equipment from the club for free. Gear_rental does require a cash deposit, however.
Please consult the above links for all information regarding proper skiing clothing and gear. In winter especially, none of your clothing should be made out of cotton. Anything wool or synthetic is probably safe. Just remember, Cotton Kills.
Stuff you need from the club probably includes:
- Skis (bindings are adjustable, ask when you pick them up, make sure they fit your boots)
- Skins (ask the QM - they let your skis go uphill, quite necessary for this trip. Make sure they fit your skis)
- Boots (make sure they fit your feet, and your skis)
- Poles
- Shovel
- Probe
- Avalanche beacon
