Trip Description

 I don't think that we will have any sun, but nevertheless this trip never fails to deliver.

There should be 10-20cm on top of supportive crust, so very pleasant to ski...

This trip is more about the touring aspect that the downhill portion:)

We might do a loop around Herman saddle, depending on the viz and conditions.

Please make sure you are able to enter the US and Canada without visas and such.

 

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

    Headlamp
