When: Leave Friday at 7pm (after dinner), back Saturday evening Cost: 9$ for DOC memberes, 11$ for non-DOC members Blitz: Katie Jacobs Description: We'll spend the night at Billings before getting an early start on the 3 mile hike to the bottom of Tuckerman Ravine. From the base of the ravine we'll be able to decide which run(s) to take as well as watch the action on the slopes. After an afternoon of skiing, we'll hike back down and head home. Some important notes about this trip: being on Mt. Washington and skiing are entirely dependent upon weather and snow conditions; we may need to adjust our plans to stay safe. The skiing is on EXPERT BACKCOUNTRY terrain with many environmental and human obstacles. You should have your own pair of alpine skis that you feel very comfortable on and a helmet. Snowboarding is also an option. If you have any questions about terrain/level of difficulty/equipment/anything, blitz Katie Jacobs! SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY Hike Camel's Hump and Ben and Jerry's!!!
