Circumnavigate Mt Adams-a Strenuous BackCountry multiday ski tour

50 miles, 4 days, all off trail. A classic re-peat tour of Mt Adams last done in 2009.

Requires experience in multiday snow camping, willingness to get up pre-dawn and ski 12 hours a day. Not difficult skiing, terrain is fairly gentle. Endurance however, is important, as well as ability to travel lightweight yet safe.

Mt. Adams is a beautiful mountain, rarely circumnavigated in summer. This one is a repeat of the 2009 epic journey.

Best equipment for this trip is backcountry fish scaled skis. Mostly flat touring except for the last 20 miles. Not a great tour for split boards due to frequent changes in elevation (up, down, traverse)

Here's the route. https://caltopo.com/m/GMH4
