Hey thanks for the replies! We're leaving tomorrow...I can't wait!! Today i just went and rented all the stuff I need. Avy beacons and probes, snowshoes, crampons and boots, ice axe, tent, sleeping bag, pad, gloves, leg gaiters, first aid kit....i didn't rent all of that stuff, it's just what i have for the trip. anything else that you guys could add?
oh also...how much water should i plan on taking??
our plan is to hike in to moraine lake friday night, and then climb the south side saturday morning and snowboard down in the afternoon.
how should i go about getting a trail map? and also, what route should be taken to make sure that we end up at moraine lake again??
i found a few pictures, and i was wondering if someone could describe the route, or even take into paint and draw out the route that we should take, especially coming down.
it's hard to find pictures, and i want to have a visual of where the lake is next to the mountain. in the first picture, is the lake right towards the bottom in the middle?? if it is, then when we are snowboarding down we should be able to easily head towards the lake and not miss it right???
anyways...thanks for your help guys!!
