From the trailhead off Hwy 550 we will skin up to McMillan Basin, once there we can decide where to ski and how many laps to do. It usually takes about 90 minutes of uphill travel before heading down the first time.
We will stick to slopes that are less than 30 degrees. The area is relatively low risk for Avalanches.
Meet at the top of Red Mountain Pass at 10:00 am. We can figure out carpools closer to the trip.
