Winter Scramble - Mount Si and Teneriffe Traverse
[Changed from North Slide due to poor winter driving/parking conditions] Although approaching via the pedestrian Old Si Trail, this traverse to Teneriffe provides a great workout (13 miles, 5000’ gain) with some nice alpine terrain.

A great bad weather alternate with a relatively short drive. The traverse to Teneriffe is straightforward, and if a snowshoe track is already broken to Teneriffe we may return via Dixie and Blowdown. Photos from past trips to this venue can be seen here.
