This is a program designed for advanced skiers and snowboarders, with back country skiing experience.
This can be a dangerous tour with the ever present risk of an avalanche. We use avalanche beacons, probes, shovels, climbing skins and snow shoes on this tour. It will consist of a 2 to 3 hour hike up the mountain into the deep wilderness of Gassan.
Altogether you will descend about 1000 meters over the course of the day. You will make plenty of fresh tracks in this untouched powder snow!
Skiers and snowboarders are both welcome on this tour.
