Description:
Some people have it all, some people have crippling anxiety that is only temporarily relieved by getting up to snowy mischief in the backcountry with the silliest setups that go downhill. If you are in the latter group, then this trip is for you.
“But I don’t have a silly setup?” I hear you whinge.
Beg, borrow, bike to Burnaby to meet a stranger from fb marketplace who asks why you, a fully grown adult, is buying 85cm Barbie skis, & fabricate a lie about a niece you’re teaching to ski, because you’re too embarrassed to admit you’re trying to impress Anton by hucking a backflip on children’s skis.
You don’t need custom skis hand-carved from a mighty Kauri tree & skins weaved from the hair of a three-toed pygmy sloth. You just need something to send it on.

I will personally be riding option 4. I have crafted my setup with great skill (measure none, cut once). There are cross country skis up for grabs in the clubroom. Costumes are also considered a setup, as long as they are silly.
Skills are desirable, but not required.
Costumes are encouraged.
Injuries are forbidden.
Food & water is recommended.
Location is Red Heather.
