The classic Garibaldi Névé Ski Traverse from South to North
We will get an early start in the wee hours of Saturday morning, arrange to exchange vehicles with Winifred's group and set off from Diamond Head. The goal will be to camp on the Bishop glacier just past Opal cone and negotiate the ice field on Sunday morning.
While this trip is fairly straightforward, good skiing ability is a must to be able to handle poor snow conditions and ski with an overnight pack. Pace will be moderate. We do not anticipate roping up but our group must have basic glacier gear regardless. Everyone is expected to wear their harness while traveling on the glaciers.
Gear will be discussed in the planning forum.
