Ski trip with 1,000 to 1,400 meters vert; not sure yet about location due to changing avi conditions, but if safe will aim to head to some peak (Vermillion, Field, ...). Focus will be on skiing on good snow though rather than peak bagging. Participants should be comfortable to ski steep runs in variable conditions (will only go for them if conditions are safe though). Planning to go with a small group, and to help with group selection, please send me an email with the following information:
1) Which tours you have done this winter so far
2) How many years you have been skiing for
3) What type of transceiver you have (must be digital, at least 2 antenna)
4) Confirmation that you are ok with skiing steep runs (double diamond equivalent)
Splitboards are ok, Snowshoe-Snowboard combos are not.
Required Items to Bring:
Backcountry touring gear, Avi gear (transceiver digital min. 2 antenna, metal shovel, probe min. length 2.4m), first aid pack, headlamp, etc
Recommended Items to Bring:
Helmet, Warm clothing (supposed to be below minus 20)
