Let's get some exercise and see what the new weather pattern brings in, in a relatively safe area:)

From carpool perspective any decent AWD can make it as long as it has chains!

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) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:) 

Will be moving at a moderate/fast pace.
