Write Up:
Great skiing conditions and a large happy group made for another classic GMS event. We skined up Toni Matt at Whitefish Mtn Resort, did a little practice beacon search at the Beacon Park and then skied down to below the T bar. From there we skined back up to the ridge heading east out of bounds. We had a great ski run down the head of the Second Haskill creek headwaters east of the ski resort.Most skined back up and skied a longer run off the SE aspect of the south end of the ridge between the ski area and (second) Haskil creek.

We found the snowpack to be stable and deep enough coverage, the terrain safe, and the ski conditions excellant.
