This Thursday, March 3rd is our snowshoe fieldtrip at the top of Heavenly Ski Resort. We will carefully watch the weather, as it looks like Wednesday a storm is coming in. Good news though, Monday morning the weather looked possible on Thursday!
Monday a list went home regarding what students MUST bring on Thursday. I am attaching it here as well.
-snow boots or waterproof hiking boots
-snow pants or water-repellant treated pants
-large plastic trash bag (to sit on to eat lunch)
-warm hat to keep head and ears warm and dry
-warm socks (wool or polypropylene best; or 2 thick cotton pairs; above the ankle)
-warm water-resistant jacket for cold temperatures (layering is always good)
-gloves or mittens
-sunglasses; sunscreen (you can put on before you leave if you like)
-lunch with extra water
-day back to carry gear (backpack style, must have two straps, as you will be carrying all your gear as we hike)
This should be a great trip, if the weather cooperates. Remember, we will be above 9,000 feet so please bring warm clothes. Also, please make sure students have a good healthy breakfast that morning.
The bus leaves promptly at 9 and will return at 3.
