Using what you learned from the March 31st "prep" evening session, you'll apply it in a real situation in the backcountry. Over this weekend, we'll go to Paul Ridge (between Red Heather and Elfin Lakes huts in Garibaldi Park) on skis or splitboards, construct some snow shelters, and then camp in them overnight to test them out. Snowshoers will be considered, but please contact the trip organizer Brian before signing up to make sure you can be accommodated.
Bring your usual ski/splitboard set up, your normal winter travel gear, your avalanche gear (shovel, probe, beacon), some extra warm winter clothes including extra gloves/mitts, and warm night gear to sleep in. If you have a bivy sack and/or a snow saw, then please bring those.
Once you've been confirmed, one of the organizers (or a website administrator) will add your name to the March 31st pre-trip session at: https://bcmc.ca/m/events/view/1456808783
