Ski tour up Mount Field. Expect a long day,
elevation gain is 1400m (to summit) with a flat
6km ski in the morning and then again on the
way out. Total distance is around 20km. The
ski down is great, if your legs hold out.
Please come well rested and fully prepared to
fully participate in the decision making.
Based on current avalanche conditions I don't
expect we'll ski to the summit. The back-up plan
is to ski at treeline and get some good turns in,
or if it snows too much on Friday to go to Emerald
Peak or Narao Shoulder.
If we haven't skied together before please message
me with your ski ability, fitness and avalanche
experience.
Required Items to Bring:
Transceiver (3 antennas only), probe, shovel.
Ski gear and layers, etc.
Recommended Items to Bring:
Sun glasses, water proof shell, sun screen, cross
country ski wax (if you like it for way out).
