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 towards the Shark Fin.  Sunday we will complete our trek and ski out via Elfin Lakes 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.  We will travel in smaller teams, regrouping along the way (details will be in the planning forum).
We do not anticipate roping up but our group should have some basic glacier gear regardless. Everyone is expected to wear their harness while traveling on the glaciers.

Gear will be discussed in the planning forum.
