Because it really IS orange

Manning Park Ski Tour

Current 15 cm 30 cm base.

We have enough snow for this trip to go!  

Conditions are good to go on Saturday.

This trip is suitable for new-to-backcountry skiers. You should have experience with your backcountry equipment. Intermediate skiing ability is required. Touring/skinning difficulty is considered easy/basic... however, for early season the distance is moderate to long. We will explore the Grassy Mountain area near Gibson Pass and head toward Poland Lake. Return is downhill on a non-groomed Manning Park ski run. The pace will be friendly with re-grouping, so expect to be back after dark (bring headlamp suitable for skiing.)
