Backcountry skiing from Gibsons Pass Road in Manning Park. After returning to the vehicles and time permitting I want to check out the approach to another ridge system. This part is optional.

Suitable trip for intermediate or better skiers. Fitness level must be reasonable but you don't need to be a marathon runner.

Headlamp required and spare batteries. Avalanche beacons, shovels required. Bring warm clothes.

If people try to contact me, email is preferred. Don't send text messages. I don't receive them.

The meeting spot in Vancouver is the intersection of North Grandview and Penticton Street in East Van at 6:30 AM. Note that North Grandview is north of Grandview Highway across the railway and Skytrain tracks. If there's people coming from Coquitlam or points east, we'll meet at the Tim Horton's in Sardis at the intersection of Vedder Road with Luckakuck Way, opposite the street from the Husky station at 7:30 to 8:00 AM.

We'll ultimately meet at the Windy Joe trailhead off the Gibsons Pass Road in Manning Park, probably around 9 AM.
