This is a long day and covers enough altitude that there is usually a variety of snow conditions.  When you request leader's permission, talk about your ski touring experience and current level of fitness.  Reaching the Prow in ~5.5h from the parking lot is the goal.

As of May 7, skinnable snow was 2.25 miles from the TH; I expect it to be nearly dry all the way to the usual river crossing by the time we head out.

White River CG climbers lot, 7AM.  (This is generally good timing for corn o'clock.)
