I'm hoping to go and check out the snow coverage around Sky Pilot. Take the gondola up and then walk the road, up the steep trees and maybe get all the way to the bottom of the glacier. Will be avoiding all avy slopes if possible. Bring your regular avy gear though. 

Thought about taking skis, but the thought of skiing those trees with the little coverage that we'll have is terrifying, and since the road isn't set yet either, I doubt we'd be saving much time. 

Pace is whatever the group wants, thinking we don't have to start too early. 9am is first gondola upload but I'm hoping to keep this to about 4 hours of hiking. So maybe take the gondola around 10am.
