A big day, moderate-fast pace. We will stick together and proceed up the ridge as long as everyone feels safe and ski back down the same way to stay out of avalanche terrain. You must be confident skiing trees in lousy snow. Check out Michael's post for Saturday for a map with a route, distances and elevation on it. 

Bring appropriate water, food, sun protection for a full day out and a headlamp fully charged just in case! And of course shovel, probe, beacon, and warm clothes.
