Hunter Mountain B-Side (Redux)

It would be a crime against fun to not capitalize on these continued fits of snow. However, to be respectful of current COVID precautions, a simple day trip should be reasonable without the complications of accommodations. This looks like a good entry level hill to "get the feet wet" for the season, and to prepare for more adventurous terrain in the coming months.

I will be heading up the night before to get an early start. If you want to similarly get an early start to the day, you might want to consider doing something similar (I can post some options in notes to the event).

For more information about this location, you can checkout the Powder Project page regarding it https://www.powderproject.com/trail/7000336/spruceton-trail-descent

Now the boring/annoying stuff:

• This is a modest hill which should have very low avalanche risk. HOWEVER, this is a trip of peers, not a led expedition, so you must use your OWN judgement, and you assume all risk of your actions.
• Travel in your own 'bubble' and observe social distancing at all time.
• No-shows when others are counting on your presence to make an activity safe/feasible are a real downer. This group will have a 'two strikes' policy regarding no-shows (second un-communicated no-show will result in being booted from the group).
