Ski tour near Highwood Pass this Sunday. We'll socially distance, but please bring a mask for any stops you make and if we need to get close.
We found a cool zone last weekend with good snow, no tracks, and more lines I would like to ski, so I plan to go back :)
We'll target a medium pace and 1000m to 1200m of elevation gain.
Conditions are early season, the snow depth ranges from almost nothing at road side to ~70cm at upper TL. But, the crusts within the snowpack generally made travel pretty good. We didn't hit many, but there are still sharks around, so slow(er) skiing and rock skis are recommended.
Helmet, avalanche air bag, rock skis (which I
don't have)
