Enjoying the nice weather and views with an overnight ski touring trip. Objective would be to summit Castle Towers via Gentian Pass/Polonium Ridge, which requires crossing the gentle Helm glacier. Saturday would hike/skin in, ski easy slopes in the area, and camp. Sunday would ascend Castle Towers and then ski out.
Required:
- AST-1 + avalanche beacon/shovel/probe
-Glacier travel skills and equipment
-Winter camping experience
-Mountaineering experience
Hopefully skies will be useful with our snow pack. We will make decisions based on observations on the mountain. Currently forecast is fair weather on Saturday/Sunday.
