Trip Description

I expect some walking in the trees, so have some micro-spikes that work over your ski boots(or bring hiking boots) with you as it might be icy/not enough snow under the trees. 

This is a trip for intermediate and advanced BC skiers only. We won't do any crazy chutes but you should be able to ski black runs under any type of conditions.


Please do not signup if you are not able to break trail in rotation, if conditions require that, of course.

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

Will be moving at a moderate-fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.

 

Distance: 19-20km Elevation Gain: 1100m Summit area 1900m or so Estimated Time: 8-9hrs

 MUST HAVE:

  • AST1 training
  • Shovel, probe and avi beacon
  • Food and water for the whole day
  • First aid kit!
  • Ski Helmet
  • Microspikes for the forest(I have 1 extra pair if anyone needs some)
  • Headlamp with spare batteries
  • Strongly recommended: Personal radio set for channel 6.0
  • Ski crampons(just in case the forest is very icy)
