This weekend (Jan 25), I'll be leading a snowshowing group up Nordic Mountain. That's the one with all the dire warnings on the map. Full details in this facebook post, that you should be able to see even if you don't have a facebook account. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Nd3a5jHZH/
We will be snowshoeing from the Summit parking lot (not main cabin) up Snowy Wonder East to Pym's Cabin and then back along Snowy PM East. Roughly 9km and 250m elevation gain. Should take three to four hours.
Anyone is welcome to join, although if this is your first time snowshoeing, this may be more strenuous than you want. This event is NOT organized by Kelowna Nordic. You take responsibility for your own fitness level and safety. We're not in a hurry and will likely stop many times for photographs and to check out animal tracks and scenic viewpoints. Summit parking lot is 49°47'22"N 119°05'39”W (Google Maps link below) and is right on Highway 33, about a kilometre past the Big White turnoff. When you see the truck brake check on the left, you'll want to slow down because you're almost on top of the entrance.

You will need a pass…
I'm going up to Kelowna Nordic with a small group tomorrow to snowshoe, starting at 10:30 am from the Summit parking lot, carpooling from the Mission Creek Regional Park at Leckie and Springfield at 9:45. If you're interested in coming, let me know by posting a reply here (or just showing up if you prefer).
Hi. My name is Jody. I am relatively new to Kelowna. I don't have a car but I love to snowshoe. I live in downtown Kelowna and am hoping to carpool. Happy to contribute gas money and can uber to meet up with you. Hoping to make some snowshoe buddies!
Welcome to our group Snowshoeing! A space for us to connect and share with each other. Start by posting your thoughts, sharing media, or creating a poll.
How do we create a post in this group? Other groups have a clear "Create a post" button at the top but this one does not. I'd like to announce a snowshoeing adventure (Summit to Pym's cabin) that I'm leading this coming Sunday but don't see how to do that.
Hi Mike! Sounds great, what day are you planning to do this?
