Winter Safety
Considerations Entered by Lorrie W. on October 28, 2019. Terrain Classification: Exempt from avalanche planning as this is on and official groomed XC ski trail to Elk Pass and official trail along the hydroline for the remainder to Elk Lakes Cabin. Conditions: Not yet available at Alpine, not yet available at Treeline, and not yet available Below Treeline. (Will be updated in the week prior to the event when the avalanche bulletin is available). Plan: We will ski on the official XC ski trail (or snowshoe just off the trail) to the cabin and Simple/Class I terrain on our explorer day. Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are not trained guides. All participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, current trail conditions and current avalanche conditions for the trip. - Details of this event are subject to undergo a change at any point in time, with or without warning. - Notice any errors or problems in the information on this page?
