Hello fellow Panhandle Backcountry Skiers and Boarders:
If the shakey snowpack (buried surface hoar and all) has you being more cautious about getting into the backcountry, I have a few quick reads to fill your time, and get you all ready to go - filled with links, resources, reviews, and relaxing videos!
The First blog Taking a Backcountry Ski & Board Trip – The Different Options Available covers my take on skiing and boarding in the backcountry - from heli, to CAT to hut to hut to self-guided touring - Sandpoint, Canada, and Switzerland, tall adventure tales and all.

The Second blog Backcountry Skiing – Know Before You Go – Preparing for Risk, and Route Planning Tools is a quick read on courses, resources, and tools to help you plan your trips.

And the last blog is Backcountry Skiing – Touring Gear and what you Need for Day and Multi Day Tours My Picks for touring gear, and equipment to bring, from 1 day to week long tours (hut or camping).

Love to hear your comments, and you can also comment through the blog, at the bottom of each blog is a comment section.
Thanks, and here’s to that Atmospheric River, big snow and a stabilizing snowpack!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
