Trip Description

If you need to stop at the border to clear-up visas and such , please drive on your own 

across and meet us on the other side at the grocery store right after the border.

 

Remember that No fresh fruits or veggie are allowed across!

 

Expect POW conditions at the top with some bootpacking on our way down through the forest.

I hope the views would be amazing as so far the forecast calls for SUN :)!

 

 

Please be considerate and do NOT sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are at least an intermediate skier in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:) 

Will be moving at moderate-fast pace, so if you are a slow skier this trip might not be for you.

 

 

Distance: 10-12 km Elevation Gain: 600-800m Summit  ?? Estimated Time: 8hrs

 

MUST have :

AST1 training
Shovel, probe and avi beacon
Boot crampons or microspikes for the way down- good to have
Food and water for the whole day
First aid kit!
