THERE WILL BE SKIING.
We plan to try to go ski on Mt Washington, either the Sherburne Trail (2.4 Miles, 1,860 feet), or the Gulf of Slides trail (2.3 miles, 2,000 Feet), whichever has the better snow! Worst case, we will go to the wildcats and pay $10 to practice skinning uphill on manufactured snow.

We will practice using skins, your choice of Alpine Touring/Telemark/Splitboards equipment, layering, skiing with backpacks on, and taking pictures of people who are good at skiing falling a lot!
