We'll have big shared feast, with traditional scotish robby burns night odes and replies. We'll also remember our VOC mates Neil, Steph and Elena who died in the mountains. Neil started the Burns n' Turns VOC tradition in 2014.
It'll be at Elfin Lakes, where we'll camp at the campground and feast in the day-use campsite shelter.
NB: This is a different shelter to the "elfin lakes shelter" - the warmed hut, which will be full of people.
The hut nearby is full! so everyone must camp in the snow.
We need musicians! and poets! and cooks and punch/gluveine makers and porters for the festivities.
We’ll be skiing to get there! Or if ye a fanny ye cann snoeshoe
We’ll divide into groups, each with a range of abilities. If you have experience you’ll be helping those without.
Prerequisites:
Skiers - must be experienced at downhill skiing or have at least done a long ski touring trip
Yer aywis at the coo’s tail. Sign yersself up.
