Day 1
We meet at the Bridgeport Ranger Station at 9:00am

a short distance to the Twin Lakes trailhead. The
rest of the day is spent skiing up the Little Slide
Canyon to establish a camp.
Day 2
Today we ski under the imposing granite face of the
Incredible Hulk and the many granite spires of Little
Slide Canyon. After crossing into Yosemite National
Park we cross back onto the East side of the Sierra
via Glacier Col establish a camp on the West side
of the Sierra Crest near Glacier Lake.
Day 3
Today may have time in the morning for a quick ski
descent under Blacksnith Peak. After crossing through
Cleaver Col we descend across the Sawtooth Glacier
to a camp at the base of Matterhorn Peak, possibly
sampling some couloir skiing along the way.
Day 4
After an early start we will attempt the East Couloir
of Matterhorn Peak with light packs before breaking
camp and enjoying the fine descent down Horse Creek
Canyon back to the trailhead arriving around 3pm.
