23 February 2013
07:00 Get up. Check the weather. Print off this agenda and the map so you can be sure someone knows the way to the trailhead in Garibaldi Park
08:15

Check-in at Tim Horton's at the Sea to Sky Highway and Industrial Way in Squamish.   We will arrange car pools in suitable vehicles to the trailhead. Anyone with a 4x4 is asked to bring it along and expect to be one of the car pool vehicles. Please note, that snow tires and/or tire chains are required even for 4x4's. Thanks in advance on this one!

08:30 Car pool to the start. (1/2 hour+ drive, depending on conditions.) When car pooling keep in mind how far/fast you'll be going and make arrangements to have access to your gear!  It would also be a good idea for snow shoe renters to stick together if they want to make sure to get back
08:55 Group photo
09:00 Start running!
12:30 First 22km finishers
 

Bring along your snacks and enjoy the heat of the fire at either the Red Heather or Elfin Lakes warming huts.

14:00 Brunch and prizes at the pub.

 

Post Event Party

Meet at Shady Tree pub at the bottom of the hill.  (Just off Hwy #99 at Highland Way) in Squamish for food, beer and stories following our run. 

What to Bring?

  • Bring a small-medium hiking/running backpack.
  • Carry at least 2 liters of water. Some run-off water should be available, along with a limitless supply of snow.
  • Pack a lunch, like a sandwich, some fruit, a bagel, or even a gel if you prefer, but have enough food for about 2-6 hours of snowshoeing (depending on your distance).
  • back country emergency supplies
  • Most importantly, DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA!

Notes

  • it's not a race, but we do keep track of your times so you have something to compare to next year
  • this event is not sponsored, sanctioned, permitted or anything else that would qualify it as an official event
  • it's your responsibility to be trained and come prepared for this wilderness event. If in doubt what that means, better wait another year!
