Molar Meadows Backcountry Skiing

Let's make some fresh tracks in a wilderness setting. We will ski up Mosquito Creek and aim to get above treeline at Molar Meadows and explore the open terrain there. We will avoid any avalanche terrain.

The navigation is easy, but advanced backcountry skiing skills and equipment are required.

This trip is ideal for strong skiers who want to prepare themselves for trips like the upcoming Assiniboine Naiset Cabins or Skoki Lodge someday. We will likely need  to break trail for some or all of this, and manage the occasional moderately steep downhill sections on the return.
