Trip Description

Amazing 360 degrees views with probably lots of trailbreaking:)

The "peak" is not officially named Mt Ann, but only on a few older maps, but it is in the same are as the more popular Lake Ann. There are some very nice runs, north facing, albeit some of them require stable snow conditions.

Plan B, in case the avi conditions call for a more conservative approach, would be Herman Saddle area, with almost the same stats.

Please make sure you are able to enter the US and Canada without visas and such, and have your vaccination proof with you, as the US might still ask for it!

 

Will be moving at a moderate-fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.

NOT a snowboarder friendly trip as it has lots of up and downs.


Please be considerate and do NOT sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are at least an intermediate skier(can do black runs in any conditions, including trees, have done at least 10 trips in the backcountry) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it.

MUST have :

  • AST1 training
    Shovel, probe and avi beacon

    Food and water for the whole day
    First aid kit!
    Ski Helmet

    Ski crampons

    Headlamp with spare batteries

Distance: 14km Elevation Gain: 1000m Summit area 1800m Estimated Time: 6-7hrs
