I have just two goals, to be safe and have a good time out in the woods.
Three important things.
1) I'm not a big fan of hiking in heavy rain. Any forecast showing anything more than light/intermittent rain will cancel or reschedule the hike. Same for high winds.
2) I do ask the group to stay together, going at a steady pace, stopping only briefly.
3) I do expect you are in the condition needed to do this hike and have fun doing it. I look at these winter hikes as a way to stay in shape, not get in shape. Please be familiar with your hiking pace on hikes with this distance and gains. I will ask for recent examples if I have not hike with you before. Conditions could require microspikes.
