Description:

The Weather outside is frightful, but the snow is so delightful...

 

…Meaning that, hopefully, mountain highway has enough snow to skin up.

 

 

So the plan is to meet early Sunday morning (7:30) at the Fromme mountain biking trailhead and skin  up mountain highway and find some good beginer friendly slopes to ski. We will probably begin to descend back down around 16:00 or later depending on people's comfort level with skiing in the dark (bring good headlamps).

 

requirements:

 

     -    Ability to ski/board green runs

     -    theoretical knowledge of how to use backcountry gear                 (skins, beacon, probe, shovel, etc.)

 

This trip will be dependant on the snow conditions and avalanche risk.
