Description:
Ok-so not actually Snu Snu, but Snow-sorry to disappoint.
Sometimes, Snow is lovely-it's gorgeous, fun, and catches you softly when you fall.
Sometimes Snow breaks your heart-it turns unpredictale and hard, pelts and sandpapers your face with a howl, obscures your vision, and sometimes it even buries and suffocates you.
Whatever happens though, you keep coming back to Snow. Now that's true love.
OK. Barfing-in-mouth and cheesy-ness aside, let's go skiing. We could ski Heartstrings (well, depending on group makeup), hang out by Valentine Lake, wear red clothes and/or sing love songs.
(Destination is conditions dependent, obviously)
I'd like to make this an advanced-beginner friendly outing-this means that the following is required:
1) Overnight backpacking experience-this means you've carried your things in a backpack, cooked/slept outdoors. If you've never winter-camped, that's okay though.
2) At least a little bit of backcountry skiing experience-i.e. having used skins before, ability to ski without hurting yourself/falling every turn. This isn't to be elitist, but it makes it more fun and safe for you.
3) Physical fitness, willingness to suffer a bit, some sense of autonomy and respect for others. Easy laughter is a bonus. :)
4) Please come to the pre-trip meeting. [i]Some[/i] exceptions could be made, but we will be talking about a lot of things and you'll probably learn lots if you haven't done this kind of stuff a lot.
