Terrain, ability and group
You should be in very good shape and confident skiing steep and varied terrain and snow conditions, including hard pack. Participants must ski ungroomed black diamond runs without hesitation and have strong ski touring or splitboarding experience, including efficient transitions, skinning steep terrain, and executing kick turns. You should be comfortable climbing 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) per day in multiple ascents, with the ability to handle up to 1,500 meters (4,900 feet). Snowboarders should maintain speed on flats, hold a solid traverse line, and maneuver smoothly to keep the group moving.
