Participant Information
We’ll ski up to Iago or Flat Iron, depending on avalanche and snow conditions.
The pace will be moderate, and we’ll travel as a team throughout the day. This trip is best suited for those comfortable moving together rather than skiing independently. We’ll meet at the trailhead at 8:30 AM and plan for a 6+ hour outing, returning to the cars around 4:00 PM.
AST 1 certification is required, and 2–5 years of backcountry ski experience is preferred. Participants should be comfortable leading, developing a route plan, and taking part in a group safety meeting.
Logistics and carpool details will be shared in the forum. We usually meet at the East Guildford Park and Ride at 6:15 AM.
