Dates?

It's a long weekend so you get to choose (depends a bit on who you get a ride with). Friday Apr 2 and Monday Apr 5 are both public holidays. The weather might hint to us, which days are better.

Pre-trip Meeting

Date: Wednesday, March 31th, 2010
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: VOC clubroom

What to do Up There?

Ski (or snowshoe), dig snow caves. Get wet. Get dry.Hang out in the Hut. Burn wood. Eat, sleep, sing, laugh, tell outrageous stories etc.

Who?

This is our most beginner-friendly Hut, depending somewhat on the weather. VOC people who have never been to a Hut are especially welcome and we probably won't leave you to die on the trip in. If your skiing is sketchy, snowshoes will probably work. Talk to Philippe.

Special Equipment Needed

  • At this time of the year you can go snowblind in three hours when out of the forest, so dark glasses are strongly recommended. Also a hat with brim, and sunscreen.
  • If you have no clue about avalanches. then bringing avi gear won't help you much, except it does get you the opportunity to learn about it. But you should stay with somebody you trust to protect you from avalanches if you don't feel confident by yourself.
  • Hut should be warm so a not-too-warm sleeping bag should be fine. Sleeping mat. Fuel for the Coleman stove. A pot for cooking.
  • Ski gear or snowshoes. Gaiters are good. Rain gear if the weather is iffy. Something warm, like a sweater or a down jacket. Gloves or mitts.

How Many?

The Hut usually holds about 15 people depending on the weather. But if there are already 22 people signed up as "interested", don't let that discourage you, because most of these people will bail.
