Basic outline:
Use a WB Pass to ascend the Blackcomb lifts and depart out the back door towards the Spearhead range. Limited vert day with the likely goals being a lap towards Decker Lake and exiting via Bodybag. This trip is intended for members who have perhaps one or two seasons under their belt and they want to start stepping out to alpine terrain. I won't process the wait list until T+3 @ 6pm so I have an opportunity to have a detailed look at the weather first.
Mandatory equip:
Skis or split / boots / poles / skins / all that good stuff
Beacon / probe / shovel
Headlamp / 1st aid / tools & spare parts for your setup
Lunch / drink / appropriate clothing / spare layers and gloves
Sunnies / goggles
A pass of some sort to access WhistlerBlackcomb lifts
A reservation made at epicpass.com for February 7, 2021.
If you roll up intending to purchase a $65 Backcountry Access pass; you're still welcome but please understand that you may introduce delays.
