Blackcomb bench climb to Excelerator Connector. Meet where the trail leaves the ski run under blackomb gondola at 7:30am.
This is an easy climb in non-avalanche terrain for conditioning and warm up. It takes between 40 and 120minutes depending on fitness. Finish the climb, jump on Accelerator and warm up at Glacier Creek for a coffee or hot chocolate before the alpine cracks.
Still a few ditches open. The mountain requires that the trail is only used until 9:30am.
Gear required - skins only for the climbing trail. Bring transceiver, beacon, probe and shovel if you plan on heading into the backcountry later.
