Synopsis

We'll show up Friday (Dec 14) evening and go by headlamp on the West Canyon Trail from the Gold Creek Campground to Alder Flats, where we'll make camp. On Saturday we'll head up the trail until the trail starts heading though avalanche terrain, at which point we'll head straight up hill and gain Panarama Ridge. We'll follow the ridge to the snow field, and make camp. Sunday we'll wake up early and head for the summits, hitting both if time permits.

Date

November 29th - 30th

Pretrip Meeting

November 26th, 7:00pm in the clubroom

This may have to be moved depending on whether there is a slideshow.

Experience Required

Not much by the way of experience is necessary. Winter camping skills are useful, as is having been on an overnight trip before.

Things to bring

Main article: Intro_to_Backcountry_Skiing#Equipment_List

The equipment list above covers what you need to bring. The ski specific stuff should be left off in favor of snowshoes and a pair of boots. Here are the basics:

  • Snowhsoes
  • Boots
  • Warm Clothes
  • Sleeping bag and a mat
  • Water bottles
  • Food
  • Avalanche gear (shovel, probe, beacon)
