Trip Description

It is a Statutory Holiday so let's get some fresh turns after this week new snow:)

Moderate to Fast pace throughout the day(not for slow people) and everybody will participate at breaking the trail: about 26km in total.

This is a trip in early season conditions, so don't bring your best skis.

The only carpooling I am willing to coordinate is from the chain-on area of the Diamond Head road, so you need to drive yourself to that point(any car with snow tires can make it there) or arrange privately a carpool.

The last few km portion of the FSR will be done carpooling in cars with winter tires and chains( I can drive 3 more people and their gear).

Please be considerate and do NOT sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are at least an intermediate skier(can do black runs in any conditions, including trees) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:) 

Will be moving at a moderate/fast pace.
