The trip is 13 km round trip with about 500 m of elevation. We have allowed for 7 hours to ski in, have some lunch, look around the lake for some pockets of snow and do a few turns, and return to the parking lot. The snow pack is thin in places, and please use caution before venturing into untracked snow as we found a lot of rocks hidden away! This is a great route for honing backcountry travel techniques - some narrow-ish track to go up and descend, a few deep ravines to traverse, and some looking around by the lake to see where snow has collected and might be skied.
