What What and the Who Now
- What: Clockwise Neve Traverse! (barrier head to diamond head)
- When: February 14 - 16 2009 (maybe add a fourth day?)
- Why: Good Timing (probably frozen lake & reading break) and Good Times
- Who: If you have experience on skis, have some AVI know how and are pretty fit, YOU! See Garibaldi_Neve_traverse to get a better idea of what you're getting yourself into...
Where
Garibaldi Provincial Park
- Day One: Drive up the road as far as possible to the Rubble Creek parking lot. Ski up the road and up the Barrier trail to Garibaldi Lake. Ski across the lake to the Burton Hut.
- Day Two: Ski across the lake to Sentinel Bay and up the glacier, travel between the Glacier Pikes, past the Sharkfin, up and over onto the Neve. Glide all the way down into Ring Creek. Find your away across the creek and climb and traverse up the avalanche slopes. Continue to the Elfin Lakes Shelter.
- Day Three: Easy ski out down Paul Ridge, past Red Heather to the Diamond Head parking lot.
What If
- What we'll do if there's a white-out: Go to Brew Hut since Roland's GPS knows the way (or so it claims)
- Why: It's hard to cross glaciers when you can't see them
Pre Trip Meeting
- Where: Clubroom
- When: TBA (February 11 tentatively)
