We thought it would be fun to go snowshoeing instead of doing our 10km run on the 22nd. Everyone is welcome! Please pass this on to others you think would be interested. No special “skills” required – if you can walk, you can snowshoe.
Location: We will meet at Eileen Dailly at 8am to carpool up Cypress Mountain (http://www.cypressmountain.com/xc.html) to the Nordic area. (If you prefer, meet us on the mountain at 8:45am in the Nordic area under/near the snowshoe tent.)
Trail tickets: $10.
Snowshoes: if you are not able to make it and would be willing to lend your snowshoes to someone, please let me know. If you don’t have snowshoes, also let me know and I’ll try to match you up with a pair. If you do need to rent them, snowshoes and a trail ticket are $25.23 (plus taxes??).
I will put together a couple of suggestions for routes – a hilly route and a not-so-hilly route, approximately 1-1.5 hours long. They will both end at the Hollyburn Lodge where we can have coffee/tea/hot chocolate and yummy food! (They are known for their fruit crisp!)
There is a very easy and flat 1km trail that will take people into the Hollyburn Lodge for anyone who is injured, but thinks that is doable. (You can also walk/snowshoe in to the Lodge along the Parks trail for free if that’s as far as you want to go.) We will take the 1km route back to our cars after “snack time”.
We should be back at Eileen Dailly by 12-12:30.
Did I miss anything? Send me an email if you want more info.
