Trip Description

Basic outline:
We're going to photobomb the potential hordes of people up at Wedgemount lake. Strap skis or splitboard to your backpack and go for a fast hike/trail run, make a few greasy turns in the sun on Wedgemount gl, fast hike/run down.

If the weather looks bad, this event will be pushed back 1 week. I will make the decision to go or push back by one week at 20:00 7-days before.

Mandatory equip:
Skis or Splitboard / boots / poles
Bag with very secure A-frame or diagonal carry ability
1st aid / blister kit / tools & spare parts for your setup
Lunch / lots of drink / appropriate clothing
Sunglasses / sunscreen

Safety equipment (may or may not be mandatory):
Beacon / probe / shovel
Glacier travel gear

Strong recommend:
Helmet
Crampons / Skins / Ice Axe

Nice if you have them:
PLB / VHF
Phone in IP67 case (If you use Gaia/Avenza, bring a phone battery pack)

Meetup and logistics:
06:30 meeting at the rear parking lot of St. David's Church, West Van. 06:35 departure. I can drive me+3. Returning to West Van late because we're making a mandatory stop for burritos on the way home. As per BCMC guidelines, expect a $15-20 share of fuel.
