Backcountry Skiing/Splitboard - West Chicago Ridge

Join us for backcountry skiing and split boarding up Taylor Hill, then across the spur to West Chicago Ridge. Dont worry about gear, if you need some the rentals are on us. This is a maximum 3.5 mile ascent with 2100' of elevation gain.   We do not need to go all the way up to put down good tracks, we will assess the terrain at many times.  No backcountry experience required as this event will take plenty of time to focus on safety in the backcountry and avoiding avalanche terrain.

Register early, we will have limited group size. Upon registration our trip leader will reach out with details or further questions for you and will remain your point of contact for the event. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
