Description:
Skiing is all the rage these days, but sometimes it's good to mix in some other things. We were going to do Crickmer but I decided against it because the chance of summiting that thing in the current conditions is low. Instead, we're hiking this random bump in the fraser Valley called Mt. Sumas. I do thoroughly expect to be punching holes in snow.
This trip is beginner friendly but as always, requires a reasonable level of physical fitness and some basic equipment- hiking or mountaineerg boots, gaiters, poles, and maybe even an ice axe if you know how to use it (although I didn't bring one last time and I was just fine. The guidebook says it'll take 6.5 hours- actual results may vary.
It will be somewhat snowy. Let's organize this by message board and avoid having a pre-trip meeting.
Update: Bring snowshoes if you want.
