Trip Description

Let's try this one again, as the long term forecast seems to be looking good:)

The departure time is very early, to avoid sleeping at the trailhead.

The flavor of the spring trip, as 2 other parties used the same approach recently.

An attempt at Snowspider via Twin One FSR.  I hope to drive to 900m, snowline starting at 1050m. If we are able to get that high, there will be about a 7km skin on the FSR to approach the hut.  Be prepared for a LONG day.  Hopefully, the return leg of the FSR can be skied relatively quickly.

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 and have done at least 10 trips in the past 2 years) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:)
