Itinerary:

Another late, moonlight ski at Blackfoot!

This time we'll start at the Blackfoot Lake staging area, ski 7.2km to the Running Dog Shelter (really nice shelter!!), take a break, and then
return via the Running Dog trail or the Baker Springs/Blackfoot trail for a total distance of 14.4km-17.7km.

Note this part of Blackfoot Recreation area is more remote; don't expect the trails to be machine-tracked. It should take us about 1:15-1:30 hrs
to get to the shelter. As Monday is a working day for most people, we will need to be back at the Blackfoot parking lot for 10:00pm.
Intermediates or strong beginners only please.

You can get a map of the trail here

Carpooling is optional. Please make sure you have good glide wax on your skis.

Also, please register only if you are genuinely interested in attending this event, as it creates extra work for the coordinator when there are cancellations
as well as it being unfair to fellow EOCers who actually want to attend.

Required Items to Bring:
-x-country skis
-poles
-boots
-appropriate waxes
-headlamp (in case it's cloudy)
-hot chocolate/coffee

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Travel eastward along Hwy 16 until you reach RR195. Don't get tricked into turning right when you see the first Blackfoot Reserve sign at RR210. Wait until the next Blackfoot Reserve sign at Range Road 195 and then turn right. Proceed for about 5km.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $31.90 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, November 21, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
