Itinerary:
It's time to dust the cobwebs off the skis and the legs. The plan is to go find some snow and go skiing! Expect a very shallow snow pack and all the wonderful things that go with that - hitting rocks, trees etc. This is not a trip for new skis... The plan is to go up Highway 93 until we find reasonably okay snow - don't expect anything great. Other options are Rae glacier in K- country. The decision will be made as a group. If we don't find good snow we'll do some beacon/avalanche practice and do a moderately flat tour or an easy scramble for some exercise.
Required Items to Bring:
Transceiver (2-3 antennas only), probe, shovel. Layers, rock skis

Recommended Items to Bring:
Sun glasses, sun screen, water proof shell.
