Snow is in the long range forecast for Thursday and Friday, and if conditions allow it, I'd like to ski Thar. Otherwise the objective would be Iago. If necessary, I may reschedule from Saturday to Sunday, depending on conditions.
I can't guarantee a return time, so if you have plans for the evening in town, you should skip this trip.
As always, you should be an experienced skier, and have taken AST-1. Avalanche safety gear (beacon, shovel and probe) is mandatory. Finally, I'm not a mountain guide, so you should be prepared. Read the route description in John Baldwin's guide book, bring a map, bring a compass, and be prepared to navigate.
