Description:

Hi folks,

Winter is still in full swing and there are no trips planned for this weekend? Let's see if we can gather enough people that are motivated to go skiing at relatively short notice!

The idea is to go up to Upper Joffre Lake, camp there and go up some mountains (Tszil, Slalok, Matier Glacier,..) in order to eventually ski them down. Since I am fairly new to Vancouver and the BC backcountry, any recommendations, suggestions or other information on the trip/ area (esp. on camping & the glaciers there) is highly appreciated. This is also the reason why the trip will only happen if there are at least a few people coming that know the area/ are fairly experienced.

Please let me know if you're interested in the trip but can't make it to the pre-trip meeting.

Looking forward,

Verena

 

*please note that despite the trip name there is no guarantee for pow - nevertheless this is a likely scenario
