Baker Summit & Ski 3 Day

A 2 night, 3 day mission to summit and ski one of the most glaciated peaks in the lower 48. We'll ski to camp, set up our tents, and get in a ski lap before calling it a night. The following day we'll prep the skills we need for our summit attempt, including efficiency techniques, ice axe, crampons and rope skills and get to bed early before our alpine start for the summit push. On day three we'll get up early, head for the summit and ski back to camp before we tear down camp and return to the trailhead. Ascent and descent options include: Coleman-Deming, Easton Glacier and Squawk Glacier Routes.
