    If I put a trip on the schedule; and nobody comes; and I still do it:  is it a NSH trip?
    The forecast was for rain and it was pouring when I left Vancouver.  When I got to Lions Bay however, it was snowing.  A lot better than rain.  And then half an hour later it stopped.  And by the time I reached the ridge there was the odd bit of blue.
    But I didn’t find this an interesting trip.  It was 7.5k of logging road travel, and then a good trail to the Hat/Wettin col.  Then a fairly level broad ridge walk north for .75k to the peak.  There were lookouts off the trail, and views along the ridge.  But the surrounding peaks are higher and steeper; and the forest on route isn’t as nice, as on adjacent peaks.
    There was about a foot of fresh powder higher up, and it took 7 1/2hrs to reach the summit; and 3hrs to descend.
