For those tired skiing the out-and-back on Bennett pass, this is a variant which turns it into a loop tour. As per usual we head out from Bennett pass, ski the S-curves, windy pass and the famed “TERRIBLE TRAVERSE”. From there we head out a little further and have a wonderful downhill on an old logging road into pocket creek. We then ski back but now we are skiing at the base of the ridge that we skied out on. The end of the tour is somewhat of a drag as we have to climb back out of pocket creek. But then we arrive at the car and relax.
This tour has a mix of road and trail skiing. Good fitness is required and intermediate level turning for trail sections and S-curves. Please do not sign up for this tour if you do not meet these requirements.
To be on this tour you must contact me by e-mail in advance. I do this so that I can send each potential participant an info packet with more info on difficulty and expectations for this tour. Additionally, I want all your e-mail addresses so that in case the trip is cancelled I can contact everyone. Sorry for the hassle related with this but I need to ensure a safe tour.
