As with all winter trips, weather and avalanche conditions will determine the trip status. The plan is be a hurricane ridge around 2:30-3:00 and start our trek up the ridge and to arrive before slightly before sunset. Enjoy lunch and take pictures of the sunset and views under the full moon. 1 hour after sunset, will depart back to the vehicles. Which should put us back to vehicles around 7:30 pm.
For your safety and the safety of group, you will be required to have a glow stick that you affix your pack, in addition to the headlamp and back-up flash light and extra batteries for both.
