Any event if the wind chill falls below -20°C or above 30°C for more than 1 HR.
We encourage members to participate in city events prior to a backcountry for physical and mental conditioning, and when testing new gear. These events prepare us for day hikes and backpacking. As a result, most out-of-city events requires an intermediate skill level as we traverse challenging terrain such as hills, forested areas, and long distances.
Obstacles: Fallen tree, mud bog, rooted or rocky terrain; Rain and night hikes increases the difficulty by one level.
These are group events, stay with the group, look out for each other's well being and participate.
The comment section on the event pages recommended use is for inquiries prior to the event and commenting about the event if attended. *Please update your "RSVP" if you're no longer able to attend the event.
