博士，这次我就不去了。BACKPACKING很有趣，我听到别人说博士组织的活动很快就满了，所以想让给有兴趣的朋友参加吧。

没能找到人和我周末换班，GARY 的膝盖也有些损伤，所以我们就不去了。谢谢 Dawn 和 googoo 的鼓励，等下次机会了。你们玩得开心！

TRIP STATUS: ON STANDBY

It is too early to be reliable, yet Saturday forecast "70% chance of precipitation" well exceeds our acceptable levels, so unless it improves in the next few days, the trip will be cancelled as part of standard safety protocol.

No less exciting Plan B will be offered instead: introduction to snow camping overnight trip, see draft here http://goo.gl/Cc8au  8)

googoo

I am also quite pessimistic about the weather! Maybe we have to cancel this trip and wish for a better weather next time :(

TRIP CANCELED (bad weather + considerable avalanche danger below tree line)

NO PLAN B : considerable avalanche danger below tree line

"..Heavy snow starting overnight Thursday, Freezing levels remaining around 800m and strong southwesterly winds..."
