Itinerary:

For experienced skiers only, as we will be skiing at a 5-6 km hour pace and much of the trip is skier-tracked, not machine groomed. If you like to stop for a long lunch, this is NOT the trip for you. Our refueling stops will be short. From the Mt. Shark trailhead, we ski about 6 kms on groomed terrain before heading down the steep hill to the actual start of the Bryant Creek trail. Then we ski up the trail likely as far as the Bryant Creek shelter. Then return the same way. Total skiing distance is ~ 26 kms.

We will have a pub stop afterwards.

Carpool Cost:

Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $90.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Saturday, April 20, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle.

Notes:

Winter Safety Considerations
Terrain Classification: Class 1
Conditions: Moderate at Alpine.
Plan: Coordinator will check reports on Friday a.m. Should the avalanche rating become High or Extreme for Bryant Creek, the event will remain on the Mount Shark groomed cross country trails which are exempt from avalanche planning.
Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are not trained guides. All participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, current trail conditions and current avalanche conditions for the trip.
