Trip intended for folks new to backcountry  skiing to gain experience using skins and touring in a relaxed and low commitment setting.  

Parking will be at the Silver Fir base area of Summit Central -- or possibly Summit East parking area -- no sno-park required.

Depending on snow depth at the time we might ascent and/or descend ski runs at Summit Central/East if there isn't deep enough coverage in the forest below Hyak Lake.   I consider a depth of 50 inches or above on the WSDOT Snoqualmie Pass gauge to sufficient .   https://www.wsdot.com/traffic/Passes/snowdepth/

Note:  A Winter Storm Warning, Extreme Avalanche Forecast from NWAC, Freezing Rain or "Chains Required" on the highway will cancel the trip.    If NWAC forecast is for a High avalanche hazard -- inbounds lift skiing will be a fallback option considered.
