Trip Description

Snow conditions will determine our route.  Preliminary plan is to skin up through the trees to Hollyburn, then either over to Mt Strachan or down Hollyburn. If we stick to Hollyburn & the snow is good, perhaps we do another lap.  If we go to Strachan, perhaps we come back on the south slopes & then Collins or go round to Top Gun.  Not expecting to go to Christmas Gully or north of Strachan.

We will be going at a reasonable pace.  Everyone must be confident skiing black runs, tree skiing in any snow conditions and visibility, fluent in avalanche precautions and rescues.  This is not your first trip or two this season.  Bring beacon/shovel/probe & 10 essentials.

Be ready to go at the trailhead at Cypress at 8am.
