Carpool Cost: | Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $76.80 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Thursday, March 28, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle. | ||||||

Winter Safety Considerations
Entered by Andra - November 20, 2018 Terrain Classification: This event is exempt from avalanche planning because it is on official snowshoe trails. The route follows official snowshoe trails and along side cross country ski trails. 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.
