Itinerary:
A day of fun skiing - if possible doing a summit and skiing some steep powder lines, if that combination not possible due to conditions then find the "next best alternative". Likely targets: Surprise Pass / Hero's Knob / HW 93S; all depends on conditions. [Note: If the incoming storm delivers more snow than currently forecast (onto the rotten base) and conditions look instable, then will likely cancel and change to an inbound trip for those interested.] If we have not skied together previously, please send me an email confirming: 1) you prior backcountry experience, 2) Avalanche training, 3) skiing skills.
Required Items to Bring:
Transceiver (must be digital, 3-antenna), metal shovel, probe, other standard backcountry gear
