Winter Safety
Considerations
Entered by Andra - January 3, 2018 Terrain Classification: This event is exempt from avalanche planning, as it is considered to be generally free from avalanche hazards because this event is listed in "A Beginner's Guide to Snowshoeing in the Canadian Rockies" 2nd Edition, by Andrew Nugara. Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are not trained guides. All participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, current trail conditions and current avalanche conditions for the trip.
