  • This is a one-day trip. We will choose the better weather day or cancel if both days are poor.
  • 12 miles, 5,700 ft gain with an expected round-trip time of 10 hours.
  • You must be comfortable glissading, as I don't plan to walk down the mountain. In your permission request, please state the most exciting glissade you have done.
