Itinerary: | |||||||
Note that this event will go
ahead on this date only if the weather is
forecast to be mostly clear and sunny. No
one likes to be up there when it's snowing! If
amazing conditions exist on a Friday in January
then we might switch dates. Coordinator will
watch the forecast and conditions and we can
make a final decision closer to time. If the
weather is not ideal then we'll
find something else to do and reschedule Sunshine
Meadows. Please purchase your own ticket for the gondola upon arrival, cost: $37.00 each + tax (based on 2015 rates). Regroup outside at the base of the clock tower and we'll head up the gondola together. Regroup again at the top of the gondola, out of the way of ski traffic.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
From Sunshine Village we'll follow the edge of
a ski trail for approx 1.5km
towards Rock Isle Lake, approx 250m elev gain.
Once in the meadow we can explore and play in the
snow for another few
km's but we will stick together as a group for
safety until we're more confident with the area
and conditions. We'll do a loop and then return
the same
way we came. | |||||||
