Beginning from the Silver Fir Lodge, we will first work our to Nordic Pass, and then aim to follow the West Ridge of Catherine to the summit. At this point, I am unclear as to how much trail breaking will be required to get us to Nordic Pass. We will work to share details of navigation and trail breaking as a group. From Nordic Pass, we will carefully assess current conditions and see what we find. As with all winter trips, destination and specifics of trip may change given conditions found. Please bring a good attitude and your best team spirit.
