| Itinerary: |
| Feel like an adventure? Here is a moderately
adventurous trip
for
those x country skiiers looking to take thier
level up a notch.
Bryant Creek Shelter is located about a four hour
ski from the
foot of Mount Shark. We must be on the trail head,
foot of
Mount Shark, by noon in order to arrive at the
cabin before
dark.
About 15 km. We overnight, pot luck dinner and
have an easy
ski out next day.
The shelter is basic. Two persons sleep per wooden
platform. I
have booked 12 spots. It will be cozy! The wooden
fire place
heats the cabin well enough.
This trip is not for beginners. There is nothing
particularly
challenging; some undulating terrain. 3/4 of the
trail is not
groomed. If you are in moderate shape, are
relatively
comfortable on x country or light touring skiis,
can carry a
backpack four hours then by all means join us.
Costs: Depending upon if all 12 join us; $25
covers your
shelter
fee, a one time backcountry pass as well as my
rental of a
satellite phone;(in case of an emergency)
We will have a pre trip meeting; to be posted
