Backcountry Nordic Skiing – French Gulch

This is a very nice, relatively gentle, nordic ski trip, mostly following a road. We'll ski in the general direction of French Pass, but won't go that far. How far up valley we go will depend on snow conditions, and how much we need to break trail. The route does cross some avalanche runouts, which we'll need to check. If conditions are good, there are some nice glades up valley which are fun for telemarking.
