We will meet at the North Stevens Pass parking lot at the trail head to Skyline Lake at 8:30 am. We can also carpool from the park and ride lot at the junction of 405 and 522 just of the 160th St exit on 405.
Leaders, if you're going to a "general" area to ski, please add specific details about the route you have planned and its difficulty. View the Routes & Places Difficulties page for ski difficulty ratings.
All participants should be good skiers / riders as this trip is going to be in deeper snow and steeper terrain. Bring a map and an AIARE blue book if you have it. We will do a trip plan and compare notes before departing.
