Weekend with Old Man Winter

Update: NOAA is calling for rain/snow mix for this weekend in the local mountains. Due to conditions that could easily lead to someone becoming injured, this Meetup is officially CANCELLED. Sounds like a good weekend for JTNP.

If you sign up, you’re telling me your knowledgeable enough to know the particulars of winter travel and camping. Basically, stay dry, stay warm, stay happy. The only thing that would cancel the trip, would be a BIG storm on the weekend of the hike. Nighttime temps below 20deg. Frost nip, hypothermia, and dehydration are ever present dangers. This is NOT a beginners guide to winter survival.
