Originally published at: Big day out – a sporty, self propelled loop, D2
5040 – Jack’s – Adder ski traverse – and then some
After stashing bikes at our hoped exit point we will car camp at trailhead. We will need to stretch the day and start at 3am starting with a boot pack on 5040’s NW ridge trail. After transitioning to skis the terrain tours well with following connecting ridgelines all day long. Many, many transitions are required and rewarded with lots of descents.
The bikes will complete the self propelled loop back to the car, lots of downhill but the last 6 km are uphill.
Mountain bikes, skis, helmet, ice axe, AVI gear, good endurance fitness level, stoke and confidence that you can wear ski boots for 12+ hours.
