Tantalus Ski Traverse

The Tantalus Ski Traverse can be done valley bottom to valley bottom but that requires a lot of slogging through the brush with skis on your back! So, to reduce the suffer factor and maximize the fun, we’ll kick start the traverse with a bump into Lake Lovelywater and make it a 2-day traverse. The first day we will ski up and over to the Haberl Hut which is nestled between Serratus and Dione. The next day we continue North around Dione, Tantalus, Zenith and finally Pelion before dropping down into Sigurd Creek and hiking out to our waiting vehicles.

The Haberl Hut may be available to us for cooking but we will still sleep in our tents. We may also be able to get our overnight gear flown into the hut directly so we don't have to carry it with us. Of course, that all depends on the weather. To get our stuff flown into the Haberl we will want to be sure that the weather is good enough to ensure it makes it and so this aspect of the planning will outlined in your final logistics package. Suffice to say that we'll do our best to keep the packs light so we can do a little extra downhill skiing on the trip.

Waiver & Risk Management:

As you know, outdoor activities involve numerous hazards including, but not limited to, avalanches, crevasses, rockfall, slips and falls, equipment failure, poor weather, etc. And while we do our best to anticipate and mitigate these hazards we cannot completely eliminate them. So, as with anything fun, you will be required to sign our Participant Release to take part in one of our courses or trips.
