The Wild SnowBerry Returns

a fun winter adventure

Saturday February 24  *   9am *     at a local Sno-Park

The Wild SnowBerry is another special informal event we�ve designed just for BARK members.  This is a 4-6 hour race involving navigation with map and compass on snowshoes, skis or any combination thereof.  It will be a perfect opportunity to hone your navigational skills since things look different covered in snow!  Teams of two or more must travel together at all times and reach each checkpoint together. Teams will receive a Passport and a map at the start of the race.  Teams prove they visited each checkpoint by writing down the required information at each checkpoint on their passport. You are completely responsible for your own gear and safety.  Sno-Park permits needed.

  Start/finish location will be announced 1 week before the event.          

Check-in and map distribution: 8:30am

Moonlight Snowshoe up Tumalo Mountain Wednesday January 31

 

"I'm planning on going up Tumalo on Wednesday night on snowshoes. If
you're interested, let's meet at Dutchman Flat at 6:30 with headlamp, shoes
or skis, and a cup.  I will provide hot chocolate and Schnapps at the
top.  Then we'll head North to the next little tit with no name and then
back to Dutchman by compass."  Call with any questions: Roger Fox 385-5605.
