Hey, all! I just moved into the Clark Fork/Sandpoint area and I am on the search for some touring partners. Happy to drive to other locations. I am working weekends on the Schweitzer NASTAR course but free to tour M-F. I am into everything from chill tours to some big mtn ascents. I will definitely be getting into some bigger stuff in the Cabinets when spring starts to show up. I have been to AIARE 1 and 2 plus a few other schools. Currently scheduled for avalanche rescue early next month with Selkirk pow guides. Anyone up for some type 2/3 fun? Also, sadly I have no sled and I don't think I will for this season. Chad
Currently working on the east coast, but will be back late December. I will be off all of January and could probably squeeze in a few weekday trips with you.
[Hey Chad. I'm based out of sandpoint this winter and I often hit the Schweitzer side country but would love to do some longer exploring up the pack river or cabinets. Just let me know when you're up for a tour, Greg quote="Chadlukenbill, post: 8909, member: 1768"]Hey, all!

There's a reason most of best skiers/boarders I've ever met are from the East Coast...when you have to ski crap most of the time, it's easy everywhere else.
Lived in CO for 16 years prior to here, so a bit spoiled. There are "some" icy/dicey days here, but not a lot. Snow density here makes back country/resort side country/resort much less sketchy to what I was once used to though. Wind doesn't blow snow around as much here also. Have great season man!
