Q, Laure, Elaine, Peter, Dan
Two split boarders, one snowboarder snowshoer, two skiers.

Red Lake Peak attempt GPS tracks.

We climbed 1700 ft to 9100 ft, 900 ft shy of summit. We left the car at 10:30am, turned around at the ridge and started descending at 2pm, and reached the car at 2:40pm.

Setting out for a good day in the backcountry.

Low/moderate avalanche danger. It snowed about 5 inches throughout the day. The snow was a little heavy, especially at the bottom. A little bit of cracking while skinning north face. The temperature was below freezing but not too cold or windy.

Splitboard is the gateway drug to skiing.

We had to do some bushwhacking at the bottom. Three of us got stuck in trees at one point.

Peter, Q, and Dan got chewed out by Elaine for climbing ahead for 20 minutes without reporting back. She blamed it on testosterone.
