There is superlative skiing around the Eisman Hut and the plan is to arrive at the hut early on the 2nd, ski in the area that afternoon. We will ski in the area as much as possible on the 3rd and may arrive back at our cars at/after sunset.
All participants will actively participate in trip planning. If you have not been to the hut, plan to review all of the information on the 10th Mtn site before contacting me so we can discuss your plan. What time do you estimate, what terrain should we be aware of, what is the current and forecast avy and weather conditions, etc.
Potluck meals - it's just a single night, so we can carry in real food and prepare it together.
Carpools from Boulder and Wooly Mammoth, details provided to registered participants.
Required Equipment
YOYO repairs. When you contact me, please be prepared to discuss your repair kit - bindings, buckles, poles.
Helmet
Beacon, probe, shovel. Although not specifically required for the access route, much of the skiable terrain does. We will not ski in areas with known conditions. This is not a technical mountaineering trip.
