Trip Description

It is going to be my Third trip to Keiths Hut. Can't wait to find ski buddies for that. 

The goals are:

- to find good fun safe runs on any slopes around the hut depending on snow conditions

- to do at least two good runs from the highest point we can get to without using crampones and axes

Steps:

1. To get to the parking early Sat morning - 3 hours drive

2. To get to the hut - 10 km, 600 m up - 3-4 hours.

3. After lunch skin up as high as we can and make a nice run towards the hut.

4. Overnight.

5. Make the second lap, and maybe 1 more.

6. Ski back to the cars with backpacks - 1 hour.

7. Drive back home.

Please only sign up if you have done multi-day hut or winter camping trips before. Sign up only if you have AST1 or equivalent knowledge and training. 

Trip is not ment to be for beginers. 

Trip may be cancelled only on really bad weather conditions.

Required gear: backpack, skis/splitboard, poles, skins, beacon, probe, shovel, helmet, extra mittens, warm layers, first aid kit, glasses and googles, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, stove, pot, thermos, headlamp, chocolate

It would be good to meet up before the trip for discussion.
