Winter Longhike

Everything is different when you go into the backcountry in the winter, and that's why there's Winter Longhike, an introductory trip for winter camping. This is usually a big trip with lots of keen people aboard who want to get out, learn some new skills, and sleep in their very own snow shelter while still managing to have fun too. It's an easy, beginner friendly trip, so if you've never even seen snow before you can still have a good time.

Past destinations have included:

• Red Heather Meadowns in Garibaldi Park
• Fat Dog Creek in Manning Park
• Mt. Seymour

Next year's winter longhike has not yet been scheduled. It will probably take place in early or mid January, 2005.
