Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14
Sunday is Mothers Day, so we will set up camp just 30 minutes from the road, and a hour from
Seattle, so you can get back home before noon to make it home to celebrate with your family.
Bring your gear to Ski, Snowboard, Snowshoe and just play in the snow.
Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14
The plan is to drive up to Snoqualmie Pass on I-90, and park at the Alpental Ski
resort parking lot. From here the plan is to hike or ski less than one mile up
to the base of the canyon. (in other words there is only a small elevation gain
to base camp, less than 200 vertical feet).
From here we set up camp at the base of Chair Peak and all sorts
of other great areas to climb, practice your skiing or boarding, or just
party and enjoy the scenery.
Timing
Arrive at Alpental parking lot around 1pm Saturday (this gives you lots of time
to get other things done on Saturday morning).
Hike in from 2:00 to 2:30
Drop packs and set up camp 2:30 - 3:30
Play, explore, climb peaks, etc afternoon
Dinner and Party starts - 7pm
Sunday Morning
Hike or ski out early if you have other plans on Sunday (Mothers Day), otherwise stay and ski.
Call or e-mail me if you are interested so I can get a head count.
Invite your friends, beginners are welcome.
If you need any gear you can always rent from REI (you really do not need anything other
than a sleeping bag).
If you do not want to stay the night you can always hike out and drive home after the party.
