Snowshoeing options can be modified depending on the group and the leader. Here is some additional information for the snowshoers.
Everyone not skiing should bring snowshoes and skiers should bring snowshoes as a backup. There may be fresh on top of frozen and hard packed trails so snowshoes may not be need but bring them. If snowshoes are not needed they can be left with the bus. is lots of new snow and you do not want to damage the trails by sinking in with your boots.
Torpor/Frozen Toad – suggestion is to SS Torpor east side /anti-clockwise (under power line) and then from Bolton, Frozen Toad west side / clockwise.
