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!

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 |
