Groups
35 people is too many to travel all together so we have broken into groups of 5-6 listed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FExTwrvmF4aCNDQsV85Nj8ejjQeF6Xjh5srYiIGeEas/edit?usp=sharing
Groups will make the journey (ski and drive) independently. Aim to leave Vancouver 6.00-7.30amish to get skiing 8-9.30ish Each group will have a liaison who will text Arran where they are at.
- Groups will stick together like their lives depend on it, and will help each other from the carpark to the campsite and back.
- If you are found far from your group at any point of the journey, you will be made into haggis and eaten. If you're fast, wait for your group, help them go faster. If you're slow, tell the others to wait, get them to help you.
Before the weekend
- Groups will organise when and where they will meet to leave Vancouver. (Between 6-8am)
- Leaders will check everyone has the appropriate gear, has a tent spot.
- Leaders will check their group has group safety gear.
- Leaders check out avalanche forecast and get an emergency contact sorted.
- Leaders confirm with Arran their group has all this, is good to go and is as happy as larry.
