Trip Description

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.
