Come help put up trail markers along the ski trail that goes up Beverley Creek from the Whistler Olympic Park nordic center. This will be a 2 day trip, camping out in one of the many open meadows along the way. Beginner skiers are welcome, as the terrain along the whole trail is quite flat and easy. There's 4km of trail to mark and a few signs to put up, so I expect this to take up the majority of time. If the markers get done sooner, there are some nice ski runs at the end of the trail in upper Beverley Creek.

Date

March 6-7, 2010.

Pre trip meeting

Mandatory trip meeting is Thursday March 4th at 7pm in the VOC Clubroom. We will discuss how to set trail markers well and organize teams, tools, rides, tents and cooking groups. In the mean time, if you have any questions please post them on the talk page.
