The Tronsen Basin offers ski terrain and snow conditions different from Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes. When the weather is clear -- there are spectacular views of the Enchantments. This tour aim to make laps on the north aspect slopes of "Windy Knob"
I will initially set the roster length to 0 and then after registration closes. I will populate the roster from the wait-list. I will give priority to folks that have recently performed stewardship activities and folks whom haven't recently participated on other Mountaineers Backcountry Ski Tours.
