Even if driving solo please plan on meeting at the P&R unless, of course, you are coming from the east side of the mountains. Let me know your ride/drive plans, either way.
Start skiing at 10:30AM (1030) ish at the Chiwawa Sno-Park.
The Chiwawa Sno-Park has three skiing options. Two are ungroomed (Squirrel Run) and Flying Loop). See and Ski is usually groomed a couple times a week in season and is a nice out and back trail of about 5 miles round trip. My thought is that we ski the groomed See and Ski and then weather, snow, group dynamics, etc. permitting we ski all or part of the ungroomed Squirrel Run trail (~4 miles round trip).
You need a Sno-Park Groomed Trails Permit for this trip.
Bring a lunch, snacks, liquids (hot and/or cold). We'll eat on the trail hopefully overlooking the Wenatchee River after we make some improvised snow benches/sitting platforms with our skis in the deep snow we'll have that day (hope this isn't totally wishful thinking).
If snow conditions just don't add up for this one we'll punt and go to Kahler Glenn/Wenatchee Lake State Park and ski those trails. Your Sno-Park permit is needed and will work there also.
