Itinerary:
One day ski trip. Approx. 20km round trip with 1000m of elevation gain. This trip is not for the faint of heart...it is a long slog up with a very steep climb to the col at the head of the Robertson Glacier. The run down is fabulous if there is snow and a nightmare if it's crusted. You may experience sunburn, legburn and/or windburn...along with a general sense of utter exhaustion. But it is well worth it.
Required Items to Bring:
Glacier gear, lunch, standard ski equipment and avalanche gear. A detailed list will be sent to applicants.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Energy...lots of energy
