Description: Weather permitting – 2-day backcountry ski trip departing Raven Lodge at Mt. Washington for Mt. Jutland with overnight in the vicinity of Sid’s cabin/Circlet Lake.
Skills Needed: Some backcountry ski experience, winter camping and Avalanche Safety Training 1 & 2 recommended.
Equipment: Backcountry skis/skins (ski crampons have proven helpful on past trips ascending up to and beyond the Albert-Ed/Jutland col), all avalanche equipment (shovel, probe, transceiver) and overnight winter camping gear. Note that I’ll send out a recommended gear list a week prior.
Participants: 5-6 but possibly more depending on experience and conditions.
If weather forecast is poor, “Plan B” will be a Saturday day trip up Mt. Becher.
