WAAC Backcountry Snowshoeing 2024 - Guest reflection from Lauren Blackwell.

We put our layers back on and ventured out for our first snowshoeing experience! The snow was now abundant enough at 1633 metres and we journeyed uphill smiling like children with a new toy at Christmas. Before we headed back to the van Mikaela guided us through correct use of the Avalanche Trio (something we became very familiar with over the trip); Transceivers to locate companions in an avalanche, probe to search and shovel to dig. Back at the hotel we thawed out with a sauna and an early night.
