This trip is not suitable for newbies. You have experience with uphill and strong downhill in punky trees, ice and understand early-season ski conditions. This trip is moderate/slow-paced. Start of the season mode. If you want to go large and in-charge this trip is not for you. AST1 mandatory. AST2 suggested or years of experience. You're confident to route plan and punch an up-track.
