This is for intermediate and above skiers. The uphill trail is along a road and is generally not very steep. On the downhill we'll start on a single track that has a few steeper sections until we meet the Tipperary Creek Trail, which we'll follow back to the trailhead. Depending on the weather and snow conditions we may modify the trip. We will not be going through any avalanche terrain so avy gear is not needed.
We'll meet at 7:30 AM at the Wooly Mammoth Park and Ride at section BB across from the gas station.
Required Equipment
XC skis are probably the best for this trip. Tele skis are ok also. Bring warm clothes, plenty of food, water and extra gloves.
