Participants should be willing to contribute to route-finding, terrain assessment, and trail-breaking, as/if needed 😉 Participants should be in good fitness shape and able to ski blue runs in any condition with a moderately heavy pack…… If you haven’t skied with me before, please send me an email with the following: 1.Your most recent avalanche safety course/training (what, when). 2.Any health conditions or injuries we should be aware of. 3.Your emergency contact (name and phone)…….. Looking forward to an amazing day of amazing skiing!!! 🙂
