We will pick a carpool meet point based on the location of participants.  This is a ~ 10 mile event, so anticipate a meeting place and time that allows for a 730a trailhead departure.

I've done this route in the summer multiple times, this will be the first time in winter.  

Although the route is mostly on-trail, most of the trip will be above tree line and winter conditions always vary.  Prospective participants will be required to have completed alpine climbing school or have equivalent alpine experience.

Registration with leader is required.  Anyone attempting to register without previous leader approval will be removed from the trip.
