Trip Description

A classic trip: I hope we can find some sheltered terrain with nice snow:)

The ridge will be wind affected and the Flatiron peak is usually the same, hence the actual destination is NOT the peak but the nice bowl below it.

 

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:).  Minimum of 10 days of backcountry skiing experience is required top join this trip.

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

 
Distance: 12-13km Elevation Gain: 955m or so Summit area 1900m Estimated Time: 6-7hrs

 

MUST have :

AST1 training
Shovel, probe and avi beacon

Food and water for the whole day
