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 to far) for a weekend. Destination is not yet figured out. It'll be determined within the next few days.

Synopsis

Beginner friendly snowshoeing trip. We'll be heading out (hopefully not to far) for a weekend. Destination is not yet figured out. It'll be determined within the next few days.

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.

Things to bring

The equipment list above covers what you need to bring. The ski specific stuff should be left off in favor of snowshoes and a pair of boots. Here are the basics:

  • Snowhsoes
  • Boots
  • Warm Clothes
  • Sleeping bag and a mat
  • Water bottles
  • Food
  • Avalanche gear (shovel, probe, beacon)


Stove and tent groups will be arranged ahead of time. The pre-trip meeting is a good place to do that. It's usually most efficient if its done within cargroups.
