Trip Description

Note that anyone interested in this trip must join the March 3th Meet and Greet at Seymour. This trip will hopefully take three days (plan that it may possibly take four depending upon conditions encountered, but the plan will be to finish in three). The trip will be leaving early enough to easily make the first gondola at 8:15am. I am familiar with the route from Decker to Tremor and from Overlord thru the Bumps, Quiver to Fitzimmons will be an area that I have not been through before. This trip will only proceed if weather and avalanche conditions are reasonable. If conditions are poor then this trip will be changed to a two day trip to Elfin lakes for some turns. If possible please also have the weekend of March 16/17/18 available as a back-up weekend if the weather is poor on the 9/10/11th.

*all participants must bring a shovel,transceiver (and aprobe is highly recommended), crampons and ice axe, and must be familiar with their use.

*Note that there is a $36 (plus GST) charge for a one-way lift ticket for Blackcomb to begin the Traverse.
