Trip Description

The temperatures are finally starting to go down :) so there should be some decent snow up there.

Monday has a relatively good weather and the snow that will have fallen from Saturday night onward should be cold and hopefully good.

There are no avalanche forecasts yet, and there could be a fair amount of new snow, so please do your research on the current conditions, snowpack, etc and bring your knowledge and experience to assess conditions as a group. 

Plan is to drive to the end of the road, then there is a very short walk to the snow, followed by a skin up. What we will ski will depend on our evaluation, the visibility and I plan to use a conservative approach.

If this is your first trip of the season, make sure you test your beacon, batteries, bindings, skins, etc before coming.

 

***** What to bring:

- Beacon, shovel, probe
- Headlamp: I do not plan on coming back at night, but days are short these days
- Clothes to stay in the snow the whole day
- Extra clothes and space blanket as safety
- Food and water
- A little first aid kit
