Trip Description

Info

Get together to review search procedures as well as to facilitate discussion on avalanche rescue. I will have targets buried which we can dig up. I am aware of Seymour's "Beacon Basin" at the north end of their parking lots. We likely will not use this facility since we cannot dig up these targets.

Meetup and logistics
Meeting just outside of Enquist Lodge @ Mt Seymour (10U 503583.42E 5467699.82N). Please click the link and look at the satellite image. People are often confused exactly where to meet. We will be using the shoulder to the south of the cutblock where the long removed Ridgeline Chair used to be. If you arrive late, please walk 50m south and meet us at the cutblock we're using. Link to Gaia map showing the rough outline of the "slide path" we will be using.
Start at 8:00 AM. Wrap up at 10 ish. Note that this is a daytime / morning session.

You may opt to travel on whatever gear you feel is most appropriate for the conditions: skis, snowshoes, or boots.

Disclosure
I am not a guide. I am a member of the Canadian Avalanche Association. This is not a course and is not a suitable replacement for AST1 or similar.
