I apologize for the short notice. This is a backcountry ski trip Tuesday-Wednesday from Guthega towards Mt Tate (around the Guthega River). The route will be will be subject to road and weather conditions but we will likely camp in the Guthega River Valley and ski the surrounding slopes. You will need snowcamping gear and AT/telemark ski gear as per the skiing guidlines document.

There will be no pretrip so you will need to bring your own gear.
Given that weather conditions will be blizzardy/snowing you must have been backcountry skiing and snow camping before. Please briefly describe your snow camping/backcountry skiing experience when signing up or if you have a 4WD car.
