what to bring

In my back pack I carry extra gloves, goggles, hand warmers, water, basic tools, radio, gps, lunch, towstrap, pocketsaw. Make sure everyone has a beacon, shovel, and most of all bring your cameras! I also recommend the double ski setup for the deep snow. The forest service is on patrol pretty much all of the time and everyone will need to buy temporary permits to ride in Montana and Idaho to avoid getting fined.
