Itinerary:
Ski tour up Mount Cathedral. Expect a long day, elevation gain is 1600m (to summit) and 14 km return. Note the ski conditions at and below treeline will likely be re-frozen snow. If we really like the avalanche conditions we'll try the keyhole descent to the north (steep and committing line). Please come well rested and fully prepared to fully participate in the decision making. Alternates are Cirque Peak/North glacier, Mount Patterson or if the weather is real bad some tree skiing at observation sub-peak. If we haven't skied together before please message me with your ski ability, fitness and avalanche experience (specifically if you've taken AST 2) and any advanced first aid you have.
Required Items to Bring:
Transceiver (3 antennas only), probe, shovel. Ski gear, layers, glacier/ski mountaineering kit etc.

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