Itinerary:
Chester Lake and beyond is a great early season ski. This is an opportunity to check out the equipment to make sure everything works, along with getting a chance to brush up on those turns and get back into that winter mindset. We will head up to the lake and up past the Elephant Rocks to have a look at the snow pack and conditions and practice a few turns. We will keep this event to a low risk, moderate/beginner event. This shorter day will also give us time at the lake to spend a few moments brushing up on our avalanche skills.
Required Items to Bring:
Skis, Boots, Poles, Skins, Beacon, Probe, Shovel

Recommended Items to Bring:
Helmet for the ski down in the trees, sunscreen, tea, warm layers for the avalanche practice, and an extra beacon to bury if you have one.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Approximately 1.5 hours from Calgary  
Carpool Departure Time:   08:00 AM
Carpool Location:   Recycle Bins off Hwy #1

Notes:
