Getting there
hike the fire road up the mountain on the north side or take the fast way and hike through the bushes up the west side and follow the ridge up. looks for a cell phone tower at the top and head south from it. the launch is marked with rock piles
Weather
beware of some bumpy punchy thermals.
Comments
If there is no lift you at least get a fun sled ride down with a awesome view of lake skinner.
