Trip Description

The game plan is to head into Manning park ( Frosty mtn) most likely, or possibly the Coquihalla /Zoa area.

I"ll decide on the final destination based on snow and avalanche info.

The  plan will be to skin in and setup camp in a safe protected area that we can use as a base.In the case of frosty this will likely be more strenuous than the coquihalla , time permitting we"ll go for a run.Day 2 ( weather permitting we'll ski what we feel is acceptably safe terrain)

Day 3 we will try to get a run possibly more in and head out.

I'm looking for up to 6 fun people to join the two of us for a great New Year's Eve .I'll bring the bubbly for all.

 Final number of participants may me dictated by transportation ( my truck takes 4+ gear)

This trip is best suited to skiers / split boarders riding at a very strong intermediate level or better.

Trip will culminate with dinner in Hope.
