Join us for an early start to top out Frosty Mountain in Manning Park.

11km and 1220m its mostly a gentle grade through forest and an alpine meadow but the final alpine section has a short, steep bit that may be minimal snow over talus. After that its ridgeline which could be icy. Bottom line is it's more of a non-technical mountaineering day rather than skiing. We will be in avalanche terrain.

Still being early season, with no recent trail or MIN reports the coverage is unknown.Web cam of Skyview campground shows good snow coverage.

Forecasted alpine weather is -12 to -8C, winds 15-25kph N-NE

• Advanced.ski touring ability and winter alpine climbing experience necessary
• Must have transceiver, shovel and probe
• Recommend crampons, ski crampons and ice axe as well

Meet time is 0500 at Carvolth Park n Ride in Langley

Potential to return after dark so bring a headlamp!
