We have several options depending on the snow conditions and group ability/interest. We'll discuss beforehand and I'll provide some caltopo maps that show the various options. Participation in pre-trip planning is appreciated and expected.
All participants are expected to have completed AIARE Level 1 or equivalent. We'll be following the AIARE framework throughout the day. This is always a great tool to help mitigate the risk involved with traveling with a new group. Everyone will be expected to participate in discussions about terrain choice, hazard analysis, etc.
Meet at Wooly Mammoth PnR (Section AA/BB) 06:45 for carpool
We'll then carpool to the Jones Pass Trailhead parking. If you meet at the trailhead please be ready to skin by 08:00.
