This trip is FULL.

The classic Garibaldi Névé Ski Traverse from North to South.

We will get an alpine start in the wee hours of Saturday morning, shuttle vehicles between Rubble Creek and Diamond Head, then hike/ski from Rubble Creek to Garibaldi Lake,  ski across the lake and up toward the Shark Fin, where we will set up camp.  Sunday we will complete our trek and ski out via Elfin Lakes Trail to the Diamond Head parking.

While this trip is fairly straightforward, good skiing ability is a must to be able to handle poor snow conditions and ski with an overnight pack.  Pace will be moderate.

I do not anticipate roping up but our group should have some basic glacier gear regardless. Everyone is expected to wear their harness while crossing the glaciers.

Skills
 - Strong skiing ability (including skiing down hiking trails and treed slopes)
 - Prior overnight ski touring experience
 - AST-1 avalanche course or equivalent
 - Glacier travel and crevasse rescue training or experience

Safety Equipment
 - Avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe
 - Harness and basic crevasse rescue gear

Additional gear, shared gear, and group gear will be discussed in the planning forum.
