Day 1
We meet in the town of Bridgeport at 9:00am
and after a pack check and gear discussion we drive
a short distance to the Twin Lakes trailhead. The
rest of the day is spent skiing up the Robinson Creek drainage to Little Slide
Canyon to establish a camp.
Day 2
Today we ski under the imposing granite face of the
Incredible Hulk and the many granite spires of Little
Slide Canyon. After crossing into Yosemite National
Park we cross back onto the East side of the Sierra
via Glacier Col establish a camp on the West side
of the Sierra Crest near Glacier Lake.
Day 3
Today may have time in the morning for a quick ski
descent under Blacksmith Peak. After crossing through
Cleaver Col we descend across the Sawtooth Glacier
to a camp at the base of Matterhorn Peak, sampling some couloir skiing along the way.
Day 4
After an early start we will boot up the East Couloir
of Matterhorn Peak with light packs before skiing back to
camp and enjoying the fine descent down Horse Creek
Canyon back to the trailhead, a 5,000 ft descent.
