Basic Alpine Climb - Mount Baker/Squak Glacier

TBD

Permission requests accepted starting January 1; ski conditioners will take place between January and March.

We'll pick the better weather day. If both days suck, we may try again a different weekend

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

This climb is open to ALL Basic Alpine Climbing Graduates or Intermediate Alpine Climbing Students or Graduates. Those that took the Glacier Ski Travel Course are NOT eligible for this climb (because I'm not a Backcountry Ski Leader so I don't have authorization to post trips for your group. Sorry...working on getting that sorted out!)

Please note the following before you request permission to join

• participants  MUST have completed AIARE 1. Certificate MUST be on your Mountaineers profile page
• participants MUST be competent backcountry skiers or splitboarders. You don't have to descend cleanly, but you must be comfortable on your equipment, uphill and down

When asking for permission to add, please provide the following.

• What year you took AIARE 1
• When was the last time you practice avalanche rescue
• A brief resume of ski tours you've done.

Please note: I may ask that you ski at Hyak, Summit, or Muir with me as a ski conditioner prior to this trip. This is so you're comfortable skiing with me as much as I get comfortable skiing with you.
