For those who recently completed the Pikes Peak Group Intro to Backcountry Ski Course, this is a great progression to continue to build your skills.  This is a moderate out and back ski into the Boreas Pass Road area from the Breckenridge side TH.  We will stay to the main road following the old railroad bed as far as Bakers Tank and play on the side slopes before returning via the same route.  NNN-BC cross-country gear will be fine, but cable binding backcountry gear will be acceptable.  This trip is primarily intended for Pikes Peak and Pueblo Group members.  All others will be waitlisted.  We will avoid avalanche terrain.  Nat Geo Map 109.  Register with leader.

NNN-BC type skis, boots, poles will work best for this trip.  Cable binding and NNN binding will also work fine.  This is a kick and glide on a railroad bed.
