Trip Description

Let's get some spring skiing in gorgeous sunny weather!

I expect about 30min of bushwhacking, but it is very mild stuff:)

The Squamish Valley FSR should be drivable all the way and the last spur seems to be empty of snow, from the latest satellite pictures.

Any AWD car can make it to the last spur, but only 4x4 for the last few km.

Moderate to Fast pace throughout the day(not for slow people that like to take breaks every 5 min..lol) and everybody will participate at breaking the trail.

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) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:) 

Will be moving at a moderate/fast pace.

Crevasse rescue gear and rope is required. Will plan in the forum who brings the rope.

 

Distance: 18km Elevation Gain: 1400m Summit area  2408m Estimated Time: 8-10hrs

AST1 training
Shovel, probe and avi beacon
