Backcountry Ski/Snowboard - Bullion Basin

Our goal is to have a fun and adventurous day out, and that may include exploring new terrain.  I'll make a call on destination the night before based no avy forecast, NWAC observations, weather, and team.

We will move quickly on the uphill (1200-1500ft/hr), although not at the pace (>2000ft/hr) that would require lycra suits, and we'll aim to cover 4000-5000+ vertical feet.  Comfort skiing most of the resort terrain at Crystal is expected.  Depending on the day and destination, we will ski in tight trees, steep/narrow areas, areas with thin coverage,  variable snow conditions, or the occasional thicket.  (This is especially true when we traverse through one zone to reach another.)

To request Leader's Permission — if you haven't skied with me previously — describe your 2024+2025 touring experience and current fitness.

NOTES:

1. AIARE1 (ideally  with Rescue) is a hard requirement.

Usual meeting point (46.93589, -121.47388) at Crystal Mountain Base area, 8:30AM.
