- Permission requests prior to the registration opening date will be ignored. Set a calendar reminder.
- As the date approaches, I'll choose the more favorable day. Be forewarned that this trip often gets postponed due to weather and/or avalanche danger.
- Participants must be comfortable glissading.
- This is a very strenuous trip. Participants must have an active winter conditioning routine. A reasonable benchmark would be reaching the summit of Mailbox Peak via the Old Trail in under 2.5 hours.
