Description
A Wednesday Winter Walk in the Woods above “Wac we Jeune” – wwww@Jan. 13
- the planned route is the Ridge Lakes
- article – Ridge Lakes Loop
- this is not a novice route and both experience and fitness requirements apply
- there is a long climb to the top
- lunch at Ridge Lakes; bring something to sit on
- we will snowshoe together and follow the same route (parallel tracks okay); “doing your own thing” increases my stress level and also fragments the group so please don’t join us for this event if this is your style
- watch this listing for updates and comments in the last 48 hours
wwwws:
- all 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
- early season wwwws will likely be walks on the snow
- Once the snow depth is over 9″, snowshoe events can start
- 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 2.5-3+ 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 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.
