Trip: Crater Lake - Ski Circumnavigation

 

Date: 2/2/2014

 

Trip Report:

My heavy duty girlfriend and I made a ski circumnavigation of Crater lake last weekend by the rim-drive route (33 miles, ~8000'). We found fast skinning conditions on consolidated snow with very little exposed ground. Splitting the route into 1.5 days, we were moving for about 12 hrs total.

Contrary to prior reports we thought that clockwise was the way to go for sure. Additionally, other reports of the record at 8 hrs are poorly researched. 6.5 hours appears to have been accomplished by multiple parties.

 

Gear Notes:

Dynafit race skis with pomoca skins. Patterned BC skis would also work.

 

Approach Notes:

2WD approach to rim at the moment. Running water available in the bathroom. bathroom at Mt Scott summer campground is unlocked with TP (and now dug out)
