We have several options depending on the snow conditions and group ability/interest. We'll discuss beforehand and I'll provide some caltopo maps that show the various options.
All participants are expected to have completed AIARE Level 1 or equivalent. We'll be following the AIARE framework throughout the day. This is always a great tool to help mitigate the risk involved with traveling with a new group. Everyone will be expected to participate in discussions about terrain choice, hazard analysis, etc.
