Egan 2026.16:
Next week is the Summer solstice and, with it, the latest sunset of the year. That means it’s also time to make our furthest Egan journey of the year, going all the way to the base of Kings. There, we’ll test ourselves on the slopes of Patrol and Summit and then head towards home with a stop at Hayfields. Be sure to join to see these once-a-year Egan specialties!
