? Asked
Are we using cypress snow shoe trails , i have snow shoes

My response,
Different area of Cypress. The Nordic area has the paid snow shoe area. You have to wear snow shoes. Bowen Lookout is just a hiking trail.

I figure the hike once we are on the steep Zip Zag trail people can go at their own pace. Speedy to Slow. Please make sure you at least wear spikes. Snow shoes are not necessary but can be used.
The trail is well used in Winter. So, it can icey in parts. Please do not come out with just shoes or boots. That will upset me as its unsafe

If you decided to join you will be physically able to take part in the event. Please be aware that there is a risk in all of the outdoor type activities and event organizer/ host, cannot be held responsible in any way for the participants of the event. Group effort is the success of the event but each of the participant is responsible for our own safety and well being .
