Itinerary:
SNOW - Ski/Split Network for Outstanding Winters This event is a virtual info night for a new group potentially launching this fall - SNOW! The idea is to have a group of people who head out together (at least) monthly over a whole season of skiing/splitboarding in the Rockies (and maybe further west). This will allow the group to learn from each other, track the progression of conditions over a full season and form connections that are hopefully the start of a ski/split network that continues into the future. This is a work in progress, so this info session is intended to gauge interest, run through the concept for SNOW and gather feedback from people interested in joining. SNOW is not an intro / beginner to backcountry program –that's covered by BITS and that program will get underway later this fall. People who would get the most out of SNOW will probably have a couple of seasons of backcountry experience with ACC trips, friends and/or guides (~15+ days out), AST 1 minimum with AST 2 as a plus, wilderness first aid and crevasse rescue/glacier travel training would also be a plus. The downhill level will probably be 'advanced' (black/double black) with uphill elevation in the 1000m+ range. If you already have a strong network of ski/split partners, SNOW probably isn’t the right thing for you. If this might be of interest, please join the virtual info night or get in touch with me afterwards if this time doesn’t work for you.
