Itinerary:

*** PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE. It's due to aurora forecast update. *** Can you think of a better way to spend your SATURDAY night than freeze in the cold hoping to catch a glimpse of Aurora Borealis?

Bring layers and layers of warm clothes and keep your fingers crossed! I will bring my jetboil and will make as much chai as people can drink!

We will meet at the carpool and drive to the corner of Lake Minnewanka and Two Jack Lake. This way we will not just see the aurora (if it shows up), but also its reflection on Lake Minnewanka. If conditions are right it should make for some interesting photographs.

Anyone enjoying a “drink”, please do so responsibly. Refrain from driving if you know you’ve crossed the legal limit.
