Drive up to the parking area (1280 m) just before Cayoosh summit, arriving around 8:30 am.   Skin to the summit of Cayoosh Mountain (2590 m) or whichever high point is reached by 2 pm.  We all stay together as much as possible.  Elevation gain is 1310 m. Allow about 2 hours to ski back down and be at the vehicle(s) just as it gets dark around 4 pm.

Skiing will be at a moderate or faster pace.  Weather forecast:  clear or partly cloudy and cold, between -5 and -10 degrees Celsius.  Expect variable fresh snow from the weekend and/or hard packed / icy conditions. 

I can only take myself and one passenger in my small truck.  Maximum participants is 2 unless one of you can bring a 4wd vehicle.

For more information see the Baldwin guide p. 127.   You can also check the following websites for updated weather and avi conditions:

Participants are expected to do their own research into the trip.

Trip will go with a reasonable weather forecast. 

Minimum requirements:  avi gear (and know how to use it), headlamp, 10 essentials

Suggest also bring ski crampons and possibly boot crampons for the short steep snow slope to gain the summit.  

I will have GPS, map, compass, spot beacon, first aid kit
