Trip Description

Albeit very little snow is in the forecast, the north facing slopes of this area might still hold good cold snow:)

At the same time, the views on a sunny day, as forecasted for Saturday, are amazing!

Ski crampons are mandatory, as all the sun facing slopes will be very icy.

Please make sure you are able to enter the US and Canada without visas and such. If not, you can meet us on the other side of the border, as you'll need to cross on your own, sorry.

 

Will be moving at a moderate 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

Distance: 14km Elevation Gain: 600m Summit area ?? Estimated Time: 6hrs
