**Please read the contents of this event in its entirety.**

**There is no need to RSVP "No", if you are not attending. We only need to know who IS attending. The "No" feature is there for people who need to change their RSVP.**

**(THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER EVENT. DO NOT OVER-ESTIMATE YOUR ABILITIES PLEASE).**

**Be sure to answer the questionnaire in order to be considered for this event**

**Note:** If the snow is already broken, this is a fair workout - if not, it's a major workout! In that case all share the joy's of breaking the trail. A good character builder. (:

At the moment the forecast looks very nice. Should the weather change then a postponement would be implemented to the next available window possibly or could be a change of venue. Excellent 360 degree viewing of the surrounding peaks should be evident with stunning views this Sunday.

**FOOD AND BEVERAGES AFTER HIKE:**
Perhaps afterwards a bite to eat and drink at a local establishment to replenish those calories lost and to just shoot the breeze about the days highlights before heading back. Something I usually like to do. Open to suggestions. Maybe the new brewery in Hope or Home Restaurant?
