Description:
TRIP IS FULL as of Monday Jan 16 sorry
- Experience needed: being able to ski green-blue runs in the resort
- Skills gained: skinning, layering, reading and understanding the avalanche forecast, familiarity with avy equipment, and possibly survival skiing
Join Sonia and Eric for a fun day of backcountry skiing! Location Red Heather, (accessible spot for those just starting out backcountry skiing). This trip is intended for those taking part in the Steps to the Neve series - (see the Steps to the Neve trip description). So, signup priority will be given to people who have been on previous Steps to the Neve Trips.
This will be a chill, fun day where people can gain more experience in the backcountry on skis. We'll go over some basic backcountry ski trip planning, gear, and practice skinning up and skiing down. We'll cover avalanche basics but this is not an avalanche safety course.
People coming on the trip will need to have some previous skiing experience(having skied greens in the resort is enough!), and be able to get their hands on the gear necessary for the trip. A list of gear can be found at https://www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/Gear_Lists#Winter_Day_Trip under winter day trip. Most non clothing things can be rented from the VOC!
I'm also looking for at least another couple people that can help out! The max number of people going on the trip depends on how many people sign up as helpers.
