Mt. Adams, South Side Ski/Board Tour

Activity Notes

Climb/Ski of Mt. Adams.  Backup dates will be following weekends. 

Please make sure your profile indicates your backcountry ski experience.  All climbers are expected to have some avalanche related experience and have access to beacon/shovel/probe.  Some of this gear can be borrowed from the mazamas if you have the necessary previous training.

We will be backcountry snow camping.  Please have the appropriate gear to stay warm!

I will look to start making firmer plans, team selection and prospectus on Monday before the climb via email. We will most likely starting from Morrison Creek TH.  Decent route will depend on conditions but primary object will be SW chutes so please be comfortable skiing in steep terrain.

If you are newer to climbing or have questions, I encourage you to reach out to me beforehand to make sure this climb is a good fit for you! If registration is closed and you would like to join / have the necessary experience please also feel free to reach out!

 Each climber will be responsible for purchasing their own permit from recreation.gov. Please do not do this until last possible minute! The cost for a weekend permit is $20.
