This is a challenging, but rewarding ski tour.    You'll need advanced skiing skill with sufficient confidence to ski the tight steep slots around Headlee Pass.   Experience performing ski pole self-arrest and/or using a whippet for self-arrest highly recommended.   Expect to carry skis and boots on the pack for a few miles before getting to skinnable snow.    Boot packing up Headlee Pass will likely be required.

Note:  A favorable weather forecast is needed for this trip to be safe and enjoyable.   Good gear can keep you comfortable in poor weather, but fog obscures hazards and rain on snow may create hazardous conditions.
