Another Winter Walk in the Woods – wwww@Jan.15

• meet at Aberdeen Mall at 10:00
• carpool to the trailhead at Lodgepole Lake on the Chuwhels Mountain Road
• we will do a loop to the south and west of the lake; if there are tracks we will follow them and we will probably break trail too
• article – Chuwhels Snowshoeing
• article – Lodgepole Loop
• we will snowshoe together and follow the same route;  parallel tracks okay; doing your own thing increases the leader’s stress level and fragments the group so don’t join the event if this is your style
• dress for the conditions

WWWWs:

• all hikes or snowshoe events will be 2.0-3.5 hours
• early season routes will be easier; later season events will be all-day routes
• locations will be dependent on snow conditions and will be chosen 7-10 days out from the date
• Plan B routes will be chosen if it snows heavily or rains
• we will try to avoid cancellations, but will comment to the event if heavy rains or very cold weather is predicted
• most wwwws will take place at 3000 feet elevation and higher
• all wwww events will start at 10:00 at a meetup spot tbd – watch the listing
• participants must be adequately fit to hike on the snow or snowshoe for 2-3+ hours
• all outings will be in the forest and not on pay-for-use trails
• dress for the conditions
• dog friendly, but if the snow is deep or the temperature is very cold, please choose wisely
• Good snowshoes, gaiters, and poles are recommended
• bring a bag for your snowshoes (no damage to vehicle interiors)
• bring something to sit on for our lunch break

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
