Let's ski Mt. Kelly! I have never skied Mt. Kelly before, but Manning Park is a great place to visit with moderate terrain. This is a route that is advertised as a relatively easy tour, and so I'd like to open this to beginner-ish to intermediate skiers. There are a few (very few, actually, it is classified as simple terrain) avalanche paths to cross, so avalanche awareness and mitigation are key. Needless to say, this trip may be postponed or canceled, pending on the weather and avalanche risk. 

I am a moderate/intermediate skier (I cut my teeth trying to telemark in the Canadian Rockies), meaning I can get down 30 degree plus stuff if the snow is good, but slow down a fair amount in bad conditions. I like to think I can survival ski most things. I have been skiing the Coast Mountains for about 9 years on an AT set up (failing horribly at telemarking). I have taken my AST2, and have participated in several beacon practices. My pace is moderate, meaning we'll get to the top, but I won't be breaking any records.

You are a beginner or better backcountry skier. You should be comfortable skiing blue runs at the resort, and you've accumulated a few kms at a resort this year. You be able to connect a few turns and survival ski through the trees. This might be your first backcountry ski season, but this isn't your first backcountry ski trip, and some familiarity with backcountry skiing would be an asset. You have AST1 or some avalanche education equivalent (thems the rules!), and are ready to participate in the organization of the trip. 

I believe this is a not suitable trip for splitboarders, but I don't know this for sure. If you want to board, the onus is on you to sort out feasibility.

This is a day trip, so plan accordingly. Headlight and avalanche rescue equipment is a must. 

~10 km total distance, 600m elevation. See "Exploring the Coast Mountains on Skis (Baldwin) for more details.
