8 Chicks Prepare to Embrace Snow Camp in a Big White Way

"'Twas the night before Snow Camp, when all through the house,
The groans of chicks packing, could frighten a mouse.
The poles and the boots and the booze packed with care,
In hopes that they all would survive the affair..."

Ah, Snow Camp. The penultimate outing of our 10-week Wilderness Basics Course -- if you count the reunion outing, and we do. The next-to-last test to overcome before we are inducted into the order of Certified Wilderness Experts Extraordinnaire(tm). Or, something to that effect.

Thirty-five layers of clothes, eleventy-three canisters of propane, we should be all set to tackle San Jacinto Mountain. See you on the flipside.

Whoop Whoop!


8 Chicks - Snow Camp Planning Meeting

... And they're off! 8 Chicks have hit the trail running -- or at least at a brisk hiking pace.

San Jacinto Snow Camp, here we come!

Developed our prototype for the 8 Chicks' "Don't Sweat It" vapor bags. 8 Chicks' very own Bernadette models the vapor bag, in color "Clear as Mud." On sale now from 8 Chicks!

If you'll notice from our profile picture at the top of the page, 8 Chicks is missing one li'l birdy. Chicklet Kristin was absent from this photo which was taken on the first night of our Sierra Club Wilderness Basics course. Check back soon for updated photos of the Chicks!
