Description:

Correction: This trip is actually on Saturday, Dec. 21--NOT Dec. 22.

This is a good first trip of the year for experienced skiers. We'll leave from Gold Lake Sno-Park, ski in the flat road to Pengra Pass, then head over to the PCT. Here the trail makes a steady climb through the trees until it levels out for the stretch to Midnight Lake, where we'll stop for a snack or early lunch with the gray jays. From there we'll continue in a clockwise direction on the rolling terrain over to Abernethy Road and Bechtel Shelter, for another potential break. From there, it's a long downhill glide back to Pengra Pass and back to the Sno-Park.

The route might be altered if necessary due to snow conditions, but will remain comparable in length and difficulty.
