Myself and couple buddies have guided trip with Teton Backcountry Guides in Feb. this is our 1st time out at Plummer Canyon Yurt. Looking for some advice, packing recommendations and gear list other than the obvious backcountry needs.
Thanks for any help!
Jeff and Diane rule.
Feb?
Bring your biggest puffy!
Have fun!!! I was up there two years ago with a Yurt based Avy class. So fun.
Take down booties.
Thanks rideit. Jeff and Diane have been great so far. 1st week of february was best time for the group we have going and what was left open for reservations. trying to plan out gear and food we need to bring and keep things manageable to pack in and out.
thejongiest - thanks, definitely plan on down booties. pretty stoked to get out there. With the class Im guessing they had everything supplied for food and stay?
Yep, they handled the cooking and porters. Are you hiring a cook / porters or doing it yourself?Quote:

Another big thumbs up for Jeff and Diane. You will eat well if they do the food for you.

Because of Covid we hired day guides and porters but no cooks. They aren’t allowing guides or cooks to start with the group at night. We have to pack and get all of our stuff to porters to take in for 4 days. Haven’t been to the area so trying to decide how much we can carry in ourselves from trailhead to yurt day 1 and last day
it's not a terrible skin in. i went HEAVY when i stayed there
We have taken snowmobiles before...
Thanks goat head!Quote:

That would be nice, one of the guys going lives in Victor and has sleds but can’t use them. I stayed in Victor 2 summers ago passing through and it was a cool little town.Quote:

Carry on...
Ping me if you need any more info or a marked map. I used to guide for TBG and LOVE Plummer.
Homemadesalsa - That’d be great. Any info and guidance would be greatly appreciated!Quote:

As said, ski in heavy, bring good stuff and just deal with the weight penalty. Porters are a great idea, definitily make good use of them. Good food, beer, wine, scotch are a great supplement to an epic day of touring.
