How to Get There:
Event Directions:  

Top Hat traverse near Emerald Lake.  Expect 1000 to 1200m of elevation gain and 10 to 15km at a medium pace.


you should be able to confidently ski diamond level terrain, ideally double diamond, at the ski hill.  You should also be capable of 1200m to 1500m of elevation gain.

 

This tour is a classic.  Expect complex terrain, variable snow conditions, and moderately chilly weather.


if the group wants to push for a bigger objective we could try something more advanced in the area requiring crampons, glacier kit, and an earlier start.  We’ll base that on the interest of the group.


if we haven’t skied together please text me your downhill ability and fitness level when you sign up.  403-607-7125
