CMC Members-

 

The dates have changed for the following two backcountry ski/split-board
mountaineering outings.  Contact Chris Jakober at
<mailto:jakecattleco at yahoo.com> jakecattleco at yahoo.com for more information
about these two outings.

 

 

May 13th - 14th           Saturday and/or Sunday           Lassen Peak BC
Skiing/Boarding

 

Do you enjoy Cascade volcanoes in the Spring?  Better yet, do you love corn
snow turns with minimal approach?  If so join me for a trip to Lassen
National Park to take advantage of a healthy snowpack.  The park road is
being cleared from the North entrance to the Devastated Area.  With any
luck, they will open the road to vehicle traffic soon.  That means the NE
face may be fair game for some skiing/boarding.  My plan is to drive to the
Devastated Area parking lot on Friday evening.  Spend both Saturday and
Sunday car camping and earning some turns on the NE face and possibly the
North slope of Lassen.  To get an idea of what this trip will entail, here's
a link from the same trip a couple years ago

http://splitboard.com/talk/topic/lassen-ne-face-58-1009/.  While the main
emphasis of the trip is to get some great Spring corn turns, if folks are
interested in simply climbing the peak feel free to join in the fun.  This
trip will include snow/ice travel up to 45 degrees.  Send an email with
experience/conditioning to  <mailto:jakecattleco at yahoo.com>

May 19th - 21st                    Friday - Sunday                  Mount
Shasta - Ski Mountaineering



Looking for some mountaineers that also backcountry ski or snowboard, and
would be interested in taking advantage of the excellent snowpack on Mount
Shasta this year.  The tentative plan is to ascend to the top of Giddy Giddy
Gulch on Friday to make camp.  Saturday would be an ascent of either Casaval
Ridge or the West Face Gully, and followed by a ski/board descent of
Avalanche Gulch.  Depending upon the time of day we may break camp and
ski/board all the way back to Bunny Flat on Saturday.  Minimum gear will be
ice axes, crampons, avalanche gear, and AT skis/splitboards.  Send an email
to Chris ( <mailto:jakecattleco at yahoo.com> jakecattleco at yahoo.com) with your
experience and conditioning.
