POSTPONED FROM 13 APRIL
Aiming for a peak and if possible a nice couloir -
Surprise Pass, Cirque Peak North, etc; will make a
decision on Saturday depending on conditions;
obviously need stability so if there are any
safety concerns will aim for a more conservative
alternative. Participants must have at least AST 1
or equivalent and basic crevasse training, and be
comfortable skiing steep lines. Please note that
Cirque Peak North might require a rappel, thus you
need to be comfortable rapelling with skis on
backpack. Splitboards ok, snowshoes with snowboard
on carry not.
The early start is necessary to avoid the daytime
warming hazard.
Looking forward to a fun day & with a fun crew!
