Driving off the Summit West exit of I-90 take a left and once past the bridge immediately park the car. Leaving from the trailhead start making your way up the Pacific Crest trail then take a left onto the Old Commonwealth Trail weaving trough the dense forests. Before long the trail will start climbing up the Southern Ridge of Red Mountain staying on a tree covered ridge before traversing through a gully towards Red Pond. If conditions are stable start climbing up the Southwest face, soon enough you will probably have to switch to cramponing as it gets quite steep. From start to end remember that you are on an exposed southern face so if you start seeing any signs of potential wet slides immediately turn back. If things go smoothly just keep climbing until you reach the top and prepare for a nice and steep descent.

Riding down Red Peak you need to be cautious of causing wet slides as you descend. It is best that everyone doesn’t ski it all at once and to make a few turns then traverse to a safer spot. Then keep an eye on your partner as they descend until you arrive at a spot just below Red Pond.

From this spot make a small traverse East wrapping around the ridge then into Lundin Basin. Once you are in semi spaced trees start climbing making sure to space your group out while climbing. Stay in the semi anchored trees making your way all up to the ridge. Since the true summit is rocky it is not worth going there and instead just ride the main drainage all the way down into the valley. Once in the flats start heading a hard skiers left which will reconnect with the Old Commonwealth trail and make your way back down to the car.
