Voyager,
My plan is actually "Go big or go home".
I'm a little past my prime and want to have an epic adventure that will make me stretch, maybe do something new, while I still can.
Plenty of AT skiing notches in the belt. Active 20+ years in Southcentral AK and 20 years in WA/OR. Trip leader in The Mountaineers.
My Goode's are carbon fiber and are one of the lightest skis for their size. Scarpa Spirit 3's are a good compromise of weight and burl. Dynafits are unmatched for lightness and performance. BD Ascensions round out the unsprung weight.
I'll wait a couple of weeks until the sun melts through the thin spots and leaves the deeper drifts exposed and easy to follow. When the sun softens the crust about 10 or 11 AM, the corn should be delightful.
I think I can handle the skiing but I'm not from this place and don't want to step on any toes.
