Description:
This trip used to be planned to go to Sphinx, changed to Brew due to the winter being a b**** and Garibaldi not freezing. See changed dates as well (you can totally skip those Monday classes 😉).
Let’s have a little party at Brew Hut!
I have a bottle of premium grade Polish moonshine that has been sitting in my cupboard for ages. Let’s channel our inner bartenders and see what we can mix it with! The awesome thing about moonshine is that you can dilute it as much as you want and mix it with pretty much anything you want and it still tastes great! I’ll bring chopped ginger, honey and tea for a delicious, strrrong winter moonshine tea! Get creative and bring your favourite syrups, juices, teas, sodas and anything else you can think about! Alcohol-free creations are also very welcome.
This is an intermediate friendly trip, with 13.2 km and 1300 m elevation gain.
You should have a decent stamina and you should not be new to snowshoeing or backpacking.
I’d prefer only snowshoers on this trip because it is much less faff. I want to avoid coordinating failing bindings, skins that won’t stick etc.
We’d leave Vancouver bright and early on Sunday, park at 1st parking lot (road accessible for 2wd but rough), get to the hut before sunset and have our little mixing party. Next day we would pack up and start hiking down to cars late morning.
Gear required: beacon, shovel, probe, both snowshoes and microspikes, headlamp, stove (we could share those), sleeping bag (huts generally run quite warm so no need for a winter sleeping bag), sleeping pad, hiking poles. If you prefer peace and quiet, then bringing a tent is a good idea.
