Trip Description

Fast paced day trip to Cayoosh. Approach is from the SE roughly following the Cayoosh Creek drainage. I've scheduled this on Friday to beat the weather system that's forecast for the weekend. There is fantastic skiing potential here in the right conditions with large open slopes.

Participants must bring backcountry ski gear, avi gear, and headlamps (w spare batteries). Ski crampons are always a good idea on this type of trip where summit ridges can get wind blasted and icy. Expect good skiing below that. 

No one should head home until everyone is out.

Please note: This is a fast paced day trip requiring a high level of fitness and previous backcountry ski experience and is not suitable as a first trip with the club. You must be able to independently navigate in the mountains. I have posted a GPS track of our planned route. You are expected to download it onto your device.

Distance: 15 km Elevation Gain: 1270 m Summit: 2560 m Estimated Time: 8 hrs

 

I'll be posting final trip conditions and info within 12 hours of the trip start.

Please ensure the phone number on your BCMC profile matches the number of the cell phone you will be carrying with you.
