I am a fair weather hiker. Mi hiking season is when Whistler is closed for skiing.
It looks like my favorite hiking area is sea to sky, and I am not too much into camping so this year I am doing long day hikes, and sometimes sleeping in Whistler.
I normally organize hikes trough Wanderung, but I am starting to build my own hiking friends network.
I only accept friend invitations from people I hiked with before and had no problems, like no shows, too slow or too hike pace, splitting the group, etc.
