MODERATE cross-country ski outing to Brazos Cliffs overlook


Details
6-7 mile cross-country ski outing to a gorgeous destination: the dramatic Brazos Cliffs lookout where we will take our lunch break. This is a out and back tour, off-trail, over rolling terrain with about 650 feet of cumulative elevation gain(adding up all the short slopes). You need to be able to ski short downhill sections and do some short climbs. You won't need climbing skins, but skis with a climbing pattern that works for you or the appropriate climbing wax. This is not suitable for skate skiing gear. Bring enough drink and food for the day. The duration of our day will depend on the snow conditions too. Elevation for our outing is around 10,000 ft.
This is a 110 mile drive each way, so a long day.
The Sierra Club encourages carpooling and suggests a driver reimbursement rate that would total about $15/rider for this one.
I have plans after our outing so I won't be participating in the carpooling. I hope we have enough drivers/vehicles to get our skiers up there.
WE DEPART PROMPTLY, NEVER WAITING MORE THAN 5 MINUTES.
