Back due to the high demand :)

Plan is to go up to the 4 easily accessible peak by Sunshine ski area, Wawa Ridge, Twin Cairns (just the 1st high north bump on the ridge), Quartz Ridge and Sunshine Landing. It looks a lot but it is not, last year I did this solo in 9 hours, was fun. The beauty is that if you are out of gas, you can exit basically any time (I might, as I am not in shape), and either ski out and go home, or wait for us while you are drinking your beer in the lodge. Oh, before I forget, you need to be able to do at least 5, but hopefully 20 pushups on every peak...!!!!

This is more about touring, if you are after laps on steep and deep snow, please don't sign up.

If snow is not enough, might go to Purple Mond+Lipallian combo, or move it to later date.

Meet at Sunshine parking lot - west side, pass the gondola!
