Trip Description

Coleman-Demming Route on skis.  Up and down in a day.

We'll drive to the end of the road and hike the 7km to the Heliotrope Ridge Trailhead on Thursday night.  Alpine start on Friday.  Goal is to summit before noon (preferably before 11am).

Elevation gain is ~2,300m.  Ice axe, ski crampons, boot crampons, harness and glacier rescue kit is required.

Unfortunately the Heliotrope Trailhead access road is still closed at Mile 3.8.  it adds an extra 600m of elevation and several kilometres.  I will gain what information I can about road condition. We might be walking or biking up the road.

Please consider your fitness and skill before joining this trip. It's a pretty big day and a high degree of mountain awareness is needed.

We'll probably set up a pre-trip Zoom meeting a couple weeks before to discuss logistics and gear.
