Angel of Shavano snowshoe/ski/snowboard trip

Mt. Shavano (14,229') is the southernmost 14er in the Sawatch Range. It's east bowl sports a very prominent three-fingered snowfield resembling an angel - the Angel of Shavano (see photo). When in condition, it offers a moderate-angled 3,000' ski descent. Snowshoers and glissaders welcome on this trip!

 

Participants should know how to use an avalance beacon, shovel, and probe. Loaners are available to club members.

Friday night, we'll stay the night in a Salida motel and then head to Mt. Shavano early Saturday morning to summit, then snowshoe/ski/snowboard down the Angel! Celebratory beer and pizza afterwards.

Optional ski day at Monarch on Sunday. Or, soaking our sore bodies in the springs. :)
