Description:

Come Spring Skiing!

Phelix Hut is in a gorgeous alpine valley, surrounded by mountains of varying difficulty.  The plan would be to hit some summits if the avalanche conditions are stable, and to cruise on ridgelines if the summits are sketchy.  (I will be very conservative, and just do ridgelines if I'm in doubt at all).  But there's lots of flatish, alpine country in the 2,000 - meter range that should be very safe no matter what).

Not everyone has to come for the full tree days, either--I just figured that given the time to get to the hut, I would want more time in the alpine.  People could also come up Saturday instead of Friday.

For skills, everyone should have at least AST-1 or equivalent avalanche knowledge, unless you are okay just doing chill stuff right by the hut.  And for gear, make sure to bring full-on WINTER clothes, because it could be down to -10 at night still, or -10 with wind chill in the alpine.

Thanks for reading, and see some of you there!
